bit of fun
Since some of us may have time to relax, and since the following is *very*
close to what we are doing with the API, I have forwarded something I have
just received. [There was no useful metadata with the message.]

If anyone feels like translating the spirit into SGML/XML that could be
appropriate at this time of year in some countries.

-----------------------------------------------------------
Task is to write a program that prints "Hello World" on the
screen...make sure you see the last few attempts (Dilbert).

High School/Jr.High
==================

10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"
20 END

First year in College
====================
program Hello(input, output)
begin
writeln('Hello World')
end.

Senior year in College
=====================
(defun hello
(print
(cons 'Hello (list 'World))))

New professional
===============
#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
char *message[] = {"Hello ", "World"};
int i;

for(i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
printf("%s", message[i]);
printf("\n");
}

Seasoned professional
====================
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>

class string
{
private:
int size;
char *ptr;

public:
string() : size(0), ptr(new char('\0')) {}

string(const string &s) : size(s.size)
{
ptr = new char[size + 1];
strcpy(ptr, s.ptr);
}

~string()
{
delete [] ptr;
}

friend ostream &operator <<(ostream &, const string &);

string &operator=(const char *);
};

ostream &operator<<(ostream &stream, const string &s)
{
return(stream << s.ptr);
}

string &string::operator=(const char *chrs)
{
if (this != &chrs)
{
delete [] ptr;
size = strlen(chrs);
ptr = new char[size + 1];
strcpy(ptr, chrs);
}
return(*this);
}

int main()
{
string str;

str = "Hello World";
cout << str << endl;

return(0);
}
