And > outside of Synchronet, I've used Python more often than JS. I learned perl in 1996 when I got a contract job at HP and I was asked to write some scripts in PERL and handed a Camel book. I enjoy how flexible the language is. It has its good points and bad points. Python is good that it's very structured, but it's also bad that it's very structured (for me anyway), I don't see the sense in putting 4 spaces when one tab would do the job. and loops really have no ending, other than a blank line. yes, I've done a bit of python, but that was out of necessity and I really don't intend learning it. JS isn't too bad, once you get to know it especially with the SBBS additions. -- End Of The Line BBS - Plano, TX telnet endofthelinebbs.com 23 .
