Why don't you adopt one of the standard interpreted languages
that are around like Perl or Java? You should be able to get source
and not have to reinvent the wheel?


BTW: If a wheel is like a quadrat, except it has an infinite
          number of corners, why is it not infinitely bumpy driving
          around on wheels?
