Hum. I wonder if one could mix Rupin with Allnoun... But wait. In order for reverse polish to work, do you *have* to have a fixed number of operands for each operator?... hmmm.... In other words, could you have 3 3 3 + as well as 3 3 +? Or would you have to make it 3 3 + 3 +?

That was me, Ed, not Nik. I think part of the idea for Rupin was to eliminate parts of speech... maybe a tone could determine how many slots a word had? Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
