Re: saving and reading sequences from files

That's not the way it came across. The original help request was, and I
quote, "does any one have a program / procedure/function to save/ read a
sequence to a file?" This is not a person asking for specialized routines --
this is someone requesting general sequence file I/O. Derek's response was
to immediately point to his own library -- not even mentioning the fact that
Euphoria comes standard with print() and get(), which is most likely what
this person wanted to know in the first place.
Had Derek not submitted his self-promoting SPAM to the list earlier, I might
not have reacted the way I did, and I am certainly to blame for
inadvertently starting this mess. However, it is Derek's continuing
reactions -- inflammatory, insulting and immature -- which have lowered this
"argument" to the lowest of the low. I should probably have just ignored his
posts, but I had no idea he would react the way he did.

?!! I reprimanded Derek for not mentioning Euphoria's get() or print()
routines. He responded by accusing me of being selfish, greedy, immature,
jealous of his library, and participating in file I/O conspiracies with Ralf
Nieuwenhuijsen. You'll forgive me if I get the impression that Derek was the
one doing the demonizing.
Be seeing you,
