programming made easy
  Does anyone know of any good reasons why everybody should not program
using go:del numbers? Think of the reliability and *productivity* to be gained!

  In order to program "csh" I would just have to find its go:del number in my
current issue of "Go:del's Guide". There seems to be a great savings in
transmission times of sources over the net. I can transmit 9776756657543300815
instead of the entire text of a program (By the way that is the go:del
number of rogue version 5.2).

  The possibilities are enormous. There would be no issues of portability
since (once a common encoding/decoding function is agreed upon (say an
ANSI standard)) we could just exchange the go:del numbers of programs and
have them work on any machine.
