From the context: Applets + Codd = "Coddlets". - (CRConrad) - (9) - Jan. 30, 2002, 12:12:02 PM EST

And "little snippets of data structures" make no sence to me -NT - (Arkadiy) - (8) - Jan. 30, 2002, 02:19:53 PM EST

The goal is to further the discussion. - (Arkadiy) - (53) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:17:31 PM EST

that depends - (tablizer) - (52) - Feb. 1, 2002, 02:54:50 PM EST
