Actually, the limiting factor is the user. The user isn't a programmer
and he needs something real simple that does _his_ job, not mine. Perl,
Python, are all nice toys, but neither fits the purpose. Pike looks
promising, and I'm glad someone pointed that out.

No time/not smart enough. Iow, only as a last resort will I attempt
something like that.

Yeah, I thought of it <g>. I bet you're right about that.

Ah, who cares. I got quite a few helpful suggestions, and that's all I
need. If people got no sense of humour, well, that's typical of
programmers. Especially those who waste their time with a disgusting
half-assed language like Python!!!
