Hi David,

A Long time ago, I wrote a Z80 compiler and a text game in Turbo Pascal, wrote a scalar expression calculator in C++, wrote a graphical editor in assembly. I managed to get the job done in with my language independed programming skills, but aside from Z80 assembly I never mastered the other languages.

Today, I mastered SQL, Crystal Reports and VFP, while doing some C/C++ from time to time (though I'm not too comfortable in this). However, I think it does not make sense to learn too many additional languages. Just master one (at a time) and don't spend a lot of time in the other but earn your bread with it.

Walter,
