If you're talking MASM or TASM, I think it's harder to fill the IRS forms! You'll win if you're talking UNIX assembler or something... > >> Also, do you remember the C code Ingres generates from 4GL?

And this is not M$'s doing. Back in the FPD2 days, they released the sources of the generators (menu and screen). It would have been nice to be able to play with it, to adapt it to our needs. But with code like that you'd rather rewrite it than read it. Marc
