Perhaps there is an instructive way for us to demonstrate this fact? Nathan.

Some BASICs probably didn't alow recursion. But these all qualify as "ancient" (and maybe jocular!)

Depending on the architecure, not really. Supporting full object-orientation in C can be quite difficult. For some assembly languages (certainly for the very few I've used), recursion is just a matter of having a subroutine call itself. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u(a)mib.org <http://www.ghoti.net/~kst> Nokia "We must do something.
