Iron_Cross,
As far as I have been reading, it seems to me that C is the most portable of all after Java but you never mentioned them to to me here.
Funny, I thought you mentioned them 2 in your own post that some-one pointed me to that answers people's questions "which language should I learn".
Anyway, thanks a bunch for your reply.
It is very encouraging to know that some-one with many years of experience is giving the advices.
