Sian (and all),

Congratulations on the work you've done with Algol, Literate Programming, and 
such!  Those are all interests of mine, as well,   (Well, from Algol, I 
eventually moved on to Pascal, and never really grokked C/C++, although I'm 
still making sporadic efforts to learn enough C++ to write a lexer for the 
TWiki markup language for the Scintilla family of editors.)

I'd be interested in seeing what you've done with Literate Programming--part 
of what I'm doing with TWiki markup and a lexer for Scintilla has literate 
programming as one of its goals.

I tried (briefly) looking at your web site for something about your literate 
progamming system, but did not notice anything.

PS: I've cc'd you because the list is so busy--if you respond to me and want 
me to see it, I'd request you do the same--I don't always read (or even skim) 
the list--usually only after I've asked a question and am watching for an 
answer.
