Lahey Support

Intro:
[I am generating self-answering e-mailed questionnaires
with automatic e-mailed replies and all I know about HTML
came in as examples with the mail, both junk and goodies].
So, I was casually seeing how Lahey's Home page was put
together by examining the HTML code, (lots of conditional
parsing there to accommodate different browsers!),
WHEN...(finally he gets to it...!) I saw a surprising line!
It was a statement that elf90 does NOT support:-
"BN, BZ, D, H, P, S, and X edit descriptors"
This set me thinking. Finally, I ask you out there;
How can you live without BN, BZ and X? And EXPECIALLY X?
The creation of dynamic format statements using character
string arrays (subject of MANY Forum messages) REQUIRES a
variable length empty space filler to be definable; the other
two options save a heap of programming to achieve the effect
they provide. (I cheerfully condemn D,H,P and S to the flames).
Besides, all my messages are EXTERNAL to the programs,
so I can switch from any language to any language, by reading the right
language module (but this needs FORMAT statements, and SO....!).
Is someone DELIBERATELY trying to make life difficult!
Troubled, (again),
Terence Wright
