Incidentally, one weird part of Fractint's parser is that you can insert \ in the middle of a token
Why is that weird? It's just an escape for a newline that allows something that is logically a single line to be broken into two lines.
I guess weird's not the right word, but it's definitely unusual - the majority of languages I've looked at don't allow this. From the formula author's point if view it makes perfect sense. I'm mostly just bitter because I can't think of a good way to support it *and* provide sensible line numbers in my compiler error messages - but that's my problem, not Fractint's ;-) -- Edwin
