Mark,

I think you made a most salient rely to Tom with your question.  In a
private exchange I answered one of Tom questions but asked him for
quid-pro-quo -- I'll answer one of your questions if you answer one of
mine.   Tom didn't.
   It appears to me that Tom is avoiding having a dialog or exchange.   I
decline to play a role in a one sided monologue or examination.   I
suggest that policy for this list.

--------------
As to the TurboImage article I would note that the 4GL's were relevant
because they supported TurboImage.   As did aspects of MPE-X and SuprTool.
 Although I first think of it as a utility,  SuprTool was/is also a 4GL.
