Fascinating. A silicon-free Transmeta, sort of?

When fiddling with texts, it's strings all the way down=85 You probably don=

It took me a while for learning the ropes of the CRM language, but the rewa=
rd has been high: I've been able to easily - so to speak :) - do things I c=
ouldn't have achieved with C for the life of me.

Even from my sound ignorance of anything programming, it sounds like a hell=
 of a task=85 Do you have anything else, possibly easier, for beginners to =
start with? ;)

Anyway the real question is probably whether such an effort would be justif=
ied at all=85 So far, I can't remember of anyone else 'complaining' about t=
he untimely departure of the CRM language, so it may well be just a faux pr=
obleme.

Well, we'll see if anyone else joins the club of the petitioners=85

Mostly (?) off-topic: yesterday I've eventually enjoyed the Dr. Strangelove=
 movie! When they were configuring the CRM114 discriminator on the plane, I=
 was laughing my *** off :))
