well that's definitely not true.
the structure, functions, reserved words, etc are all almost identical.
That's why i'm looking for a sample of some code.
a few (dozen) replies back someone supplied a link to some message threads that contained
some limited code samples.
but there wasn't enough there to really say anything except it was very fortran-like

oooh, that's not bad.
but it still doesnt explain it as a programming language or how it's related to
fortran.
They both have 7 letters in their name. Other than that, I suspect
there's no relationship at all.
someone else also mentioned "value
translation with extra precision" but I thought that was a bit of a stretch.
Dan.
I wonder why nobody has offered a suggestion for
the name yet?
Anyway, here is mine (based purely on speculation, no facts involved):
VALTREP - "validation of test reports", or perhaps "values from test
reports"
:-)
