Also [especially since this was cross-posted to the Python group] I have to mention that Python is great for this kind of prototyping, and it comes with a native debugger, profiler, guis, various external interfaces, www class libraries, network support.... It's also absolutely free, even for commercial uses, and it ports to many unices, windows/dos, apple, NeXt, possible others... Unlike TCL it also has OO features and honest to god data structures too... etc, etc... But best of all, it's extremely easy to extend with compiled components. This makes it great for incremental rapid prototyping, where critical components can be eventually reimplemented in C without scrubbing the prototype. In a week or two I will publish an article about this in Unix World Online. http://www.wcmh.com/uworld/ In the mean time look to http://www.python.org BTW: I cut the python group out of the distribution for this post, because they already know this. -a. === There is nothing like a good joke, and this is nothing like a good joke. -- Paraphrased from Disney's Mary Poppins.
