Larry,
Have you also programmed in LISP? If so, remember that balancing the '(' and ')' also effects how the program runs... In fact there was a "newer" LISP (as some people call LISP = Lots of insignificant parentheses) compiler that let the programmer close with a ']', thus the programmer didn't have to take the time and effort to close them (or balance them) appropriately... This lead to a lot of curious running programs...
Also recall that in C it doesn't do constraint checking, because it assumes the programmer "knows" what they are doing. C Vs Pascal, where in Pascal it did a lot of checking, and flagged things, and even got confused by some errors, and then flagged the world...
I use both ie5 and Netscape. Both have features the other doesn't have. It just depends on one's own personal taste...
Dick
