- Hi Rick and Chris,
- I have been reading your comments about C++ and Pascal and as far as psychology
- is concerned Pascal may be a better language to learn than C++. I have programed
- in different languages, Pascal, C/C++, LISP, BASIC, Assembler, SmallTalk. If
- i want a program for statistics analysis or graphics i do it in C/C++, for
- questionnaires i do them in Pascal(Turbo v.6), for linguistics i use LISP, for
- Object Oriented Programming i do it in SmallTalk V/286, and for small Dos
- applications i use Assembler. It seems to me that each computer language is
- almost like human languages. English may be equivalent to Basic as is the one
- that almost everyone knows about. Then take your pick.
- I have a Pascal program to test imagery modalities. If anyone wants it let me
- know.
- Bye all.
