1. Autocoder (old, old, old mainframe back in mid-60s) 2. PL/I (still mainframe early 80s - I had to get it done if I wanted to keep my temporary job) 3. C++ (have forgotten everything else!) :) Jose

Masm ships with Professional and Enterprise versions of VS.Net. If you have either, you have the macro-assembler. I think it's called ML.exe. -- modified at 14:21 Friday 3rd February, 2006

I used VC++6 a few years ago and then was out of programming for a long while. Trying to get back to it again (C++) using VS .Net 2003. Got a book (Step by step) where the author shows: Console.Write(S"...."); What does the 'S' do? I've seen it with and without it and it seems to work the same either way. Where can I read about? I've tried looking in the .net help but I guess I'm not using the right search. Thanks, Jose
