Look in misc.e from EU 2.1 -- the reverse() function is right there, and
it'll work just fine under EU 2.0. In fact, I believe misc.e from EU 2.1
will run under EU 2.0 without any problems at all, so just replace the 2.0
misc.e with the 2.1 version and life should be just dandy.
(I know Rob advises against doing this, but -- in this one specific instance
-- it shouldn't cause any problems.)

?? AFAIK, EU 2.1 is perfectly backwards-compatible with EU 2.0 code, so why
would you have to spend *any* time converting code? Unless, of course,
you're referring to global naming conflicts, which could cause quite a few
problems. Otherwise, I don't see why you'd need to convert any code -- I've
still got some programs written in EU 1.4 that work without any problems
under EU 2.1.
Be seeing you,
