Hi Mike Cox,

Re: My X.CPP code,

You wrote: <<

Relf is in the league of the likes of Paul Graham,

That is truly artful programming. >>

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Graham,
I see that Paul created Viaweb in 1995, <<

whose flagship product
( written largely in Common Lisp )
let users make their own Internet stores.
In the summer of 1998 he sold Viaweb to Yahoo!,
where it became Yahoo! Store. >>

X.CPP is primarily vaporware an only used by me,
so I don't think I stack up well when compared to Paul.

But I do thank you for your kind words.

Don't feel too greatful - Mike Cox is a known and frequent troller.
(No, I don't mean that disparagingly towards you!)

Please don't change the titles of MY threads please. I have a hard time
following them in emacs if the titles change constantly.
