The strength (and the main drawback for use these days) with "Scorefile"
is that it is written in that great forgotten language of NeXT:
Objective-C: which borrows it's wonderfully clear Object syntax, and
those pleasant named parameters from
Smalltalk. You could do something very close to "Scorefile" in
Smalltalk, or Objective - C, but it would be a large effort.
As to using C (or Perl or Python) to do the same thing: you would have
to write the parameter tag parsing yourself, which
Scorefile got from it's choice of language. Sigh. I hate writing
parsers, that's why we have bison & flex, I guess. Anyway,
find the best language you can find & stick with it. PERL turned out to
be a bit clumsy, in my attempt, my guess is Python is
better, and Java (tho BLOATED) is probably even better. I miss
Objevtive-C a great deal, or rather, I miss the old NeXT
class heirarchy. Has anyone seen the Apple OS-X "next-like" developement
kit: is it in Objective-C?
Just an old hack, missing a great old enviorment,
