--------------------------------------------------
What of future? It is a matter of some concern to Real Programmers that the latest generation of
computer programmers are not being brought up with the same outlook on life as their elders. Many of

ever learning FORTRAN! Are we destined to become an industry of Unix hackers and PASCAL
programmers?
