I was just wandering. How do you get around the fact that Beta uses implicit de-allocation of storage, whereas C uses explicit. Do you ignore de-allocation? Does your compiler link the translated code with your own garbage collector? If so what algorithm are you planning to use? Or maybe something third? > -- > Kai > wpp@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de Regards, Michael... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael Thomsen - Student of Computer and Information Science, University of Aarhus, Denmark.
