There are a number of reasons, one being the desire to have a portable and fairly standard software development core. Some developers were actually surprised for instance when they found that software might be written for micro-controllers using C. Since then Borland and others have grown oaks from the original acorns, in their own grounds. I'd like to have a robust acorn that I might plant myself, in my own software environment. With 32-bit capabilities becoming more realiable and some , though still not enough , standardization at the C code level the situation should improve. I'd like to see this made available then , freely , to everyone ; at a dedicated web-site. In the meanwhile languages like Euphoria bridge the gap in their own way. Net-Tamer V 1.11 - Test Drive
