maps and unions

[David Thompson]

Why is clari.local.florida discussing programming techniques?
Alternatively, why do you care how a bunch of forthheads confuse two
languages they do not understand?

c.l.f is also comp.lang.fortran, and it's easy to find out that the OP
participates there but not in ..forth. His posts are sometimes
(often?) opaque and confusing, but this thread was pretty clear.

Before Fortran standardized (in '90) its near-equivalent to C struct,
several important Fortran implementations had an extension MAP to do
effectively the same thing, and at least some of them further allowed
it to overlay things in a fashion analogous to C union.

I would not even approach your peter without a full-size caber, a bucket
of creosote, and a pair of industrial-strength safety gloves - let alone
"render" it.

Nice.

I've decided that I've exercised enough anger at lawrence keith gates, jr.
I came back to clc to shoot holes through the other keith, and never felt
the need. Now I'm gonna be talking to his wife, my oldest sister, and must
lay it to rest.

For the sake of consistency, I'll return as the flying dutchman.

Larry's fluent in portugese. His family used to possess a photograph of me
hanging over de Mauer with encouragemnt for him as he finished med school.

I golfed today in Sante Fe with Valerie. She can always count on me.

It's appositival, if it's there. And it doesn't have to be there.
And it's really obvious that it's there when it's there.

Sie denken sich falsch, allerdings.

Die Neu-Konservanten wuerden alsbald an Maßstaebe relevant.

It's impossible to hold David to his first sentence here.
