RS> That just more hair splitting.



No, I'm just being factual and accurate (one of us has to be).



 RS> Nope, its biggest advantage is its portability







Now I see the problem. The rest of us are talking about Structured Query
Language (as defined by ANSI). This is any area where you obviuosly have no
experience.



You, on the other hand, are talking in Speed's Quackery Language (which is
pronounced, appropriately enough, as "squeal"); a language in
which it is impossible to form even simple logical arguments, which has no
way of saying the sentence "I'm wrong", but has plenty of ways of
saying "You're wrong" and even more ways of saying "I could
have phrased that better" (which really means "I'm wrong").



 RS> But you do have a very real choice of not writing the user interface

 RS> stuff in C in the first place.



 RS> Nope, you dont have to do the interface stuff in C.



 RS> Its all pretty pointless anyway if you dont write the user interface

 RS> stuff in C anyway.



More examples of squealing, Rod (your real name must be Winston Smith). The
topic isn't, and never was, anything to do with UI.



Until you can see beyond to bounds of Paradox to the wider world, then
there's no point continuing this discussion.
