/me shudders and tries not to remember those occasions when he read code written in french.

So far I've had to deal with: French, Spanish, German, Swedish, Russian (transliterated), Hebrew (transliterated), Arabic (transliterated). I've also dealt with serious spaghetti code (I'm a Perl programmer in my day job, 'nuff said). I'll take the former, thanks. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
