I don't think any of his patches have been accepted by GCC, so I'd say his arguments must not be very good. It's easy to see why: I downloaded _Pha:nomenologie des Geistes_ from Project Gutenberg and it won't even compile. There are in fact an astonishing number of the most basic syntax errors; it reads like something written by someone who didn't know C at all. Really atrocious coding, plus the comments are in German. Besides, we already have a Hegelian dialectic in GCC (C: thesis, C++: antithesis, Java: synthesis), so what do we need him for? Dustin
