That is a very good idea. I got fascinated from BETA some time ago, and started to write a freeware compiler for it. Not that I have gotton very far yet, it is mostly a parser, and a rudimentary checker. It won't be a strict compiler, rather a BETA->C translator. Kai -- Kai Petzke | How fast can computers get?
