Thanks!! In February of 1993, I was just starting on the project that 
has consumed most of my "paid programming" time since then. It started 
out as Korn shell augmented with "gawk" for the more complicated pieces, 
then got migrated to Perl 4 as soon as I discovered Perl 4. It picked up 
the R component about 2000, but it's still mostly Perl 4. The Java 1.1 
program was done in 1997.

So, going back to another thread, it looks like the "core language" of 
Ruby is the object model and the Perl features. Is there by any chance a 
place where I could get the Ruby 1.0 source? That might be *very* 
interesting.
