Heh, this is sounding like PHP 1 and 2 days again. Back then I had + as the contanation operator. I actually implemented all the operators. "abc" - "b" gave you "ac". "abc" * "def" gave you the cross product vector of vectors "abc" and "def". '/' reversed that. Not very useful. On 5 Jun 2002, Jason T.
