To Bernie:

I guess I didn't up it to RDS since NQA, in it's current state, isn't really 
useful for any serious programming. Release 3 might be, whenever it'll be 
finished.
Resources sounds like an interesting idea. I haven't looked into how they 
work myself.

To Mike:

>1. What sort of numerical data types should be there? Only integer
>(signed 32-bit) and real (double precision floats)?

Should be enough.


>3. Would 1-d arrays and lists of character strings be enough?

Could be a bit tedious with not n-dimensional in real-world applications.


>4. Should it support cdecl?

Why not? It's not "harder" than stdcall in any way, just different.


>5. Type conversion - implicit or explicit?

Explicit for speed, implicit for elegance, i suppose.


>7. What sort of notation could be used to access arrays? structures?

[] for arrays and . for structures are the most common.


>8. Forward references?

Sure.


>9. Control structures other than: if, for, while ?

Switch-case maybe.


>11. Anything else?

COFF object/library compliance.
