During a period of temporary unemployment, many years ago when printers were dot matrix printers, a friend and I collaborated on a program which would enable a dot matrix printer to produce justified output, i.e. output with a straight right-hand margin. Each of us was doing part of the program and emailing the result to the other. I think this was before actual email; we just sent the documents to each other over the phone using 300 baud modems. Well, our code was written in Pascal. My collaborator insisted in writing his stuff in all caps, which drove me nuts. Finally I cured him by asking which case he had the most practice in reading: upper case or lower case. Then, I said, since you?ve read more lower case than upper case, don?t you think lower case would be easier for you to read? Cheers, Herb Herbert Kanner kanner at acm.org 650-326-8204 Question authority and the authorities will question you. On Jun 14, 2014, at 4:07 PM, tedgrant at shaw.ca wrote: > WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
