I should shut up, I know... but I haven't had enough coffee yet, so shameless...

IMHO if I have to use something else to express what I want, and then have
to convert it into the langu it's going to be served up in, then I think
I am doing something wrong...

example:

I *hate* programming in C. I love Modula-2. I have a converter which will
let me express my ideas in M2 and then convert them into C/C++ for the
target machine. I don't do this, because what comes out of any not going to be exactly what I thought I was putting in the other end. I
grit my teeth, and program (albeit without much grace... but that's another
story) in in C/C++.

I think of work from the tools they are used to using into the new mode of
expression. It i folks!), but I want higher-level langu it will end up in... sending billions and billions of
little triangles to a client to represent a simple shape is *not* my idea of
elegance in programming; again, IMHO...

What I like about WorldView is that I just installed it and it just
*worked*... both on my NT Server at work and on my Win machine at home. I
cannot say can install/try without much hassle... sorry, but I'm *swamped* by things I
have to %$#^ the coinfiguration into working order before I can use (I'm
fighting with the RealAudio server beta as I babble).

Enough babbling, I just wanted to put in a couple of plugs for reasonably
elegant files rather than billions and billions of little triangles...
