I would just like to say, concerning ZNG, that I think this initiative to develop a standardised human-readable but powerful query language is a very useful one, which has applications both inside and outside ZNG. The current alternatives are all rather unpalatable for various reasons, but if we could come up with something that captures the full expressiveness of the Type-1 query in a form that mortals can use, then that would be a real achievement of lasting value. _/|_ _______________________________________________________________ /o ) \/ Mike Taylor <mike@miketaylor.org.uk> www.miketaylor.org.uk )_v__/\ "Schuh's book is very good, but [...] some of us would apply his definition of `definition' to `diagnosis', and would `define' on descent" -- Chris Brochu.
