This is just a modern form of "all the world's a VAX". It's approximately as necessary for "portable" code now as assuming you're on a VAX was for "portable" code then - and for approximately the same value of "portable" (not one I think really deserves the name, but that's a different issue). No, not really (though in some cases either can exacerbate problems). The actual problem is people coding who don't really grok programming, at best understanding "programming in COBOL for VM/CMS" or "programming in gcc for Linux on i386" or whatever - and usually not even that. ...for what? :-) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents.montreal.qc.ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
