[AccessD] multi-platform ASP was: OT: Yee Haw....

I'm not sure about this one, Drew, but as an official old timer I'm pretty
sure that ! meant NOT before it meant Factorial. I learned != as NOT EQUAL
in something like 1984-5. So I'm on the side of the demented whacko.
What languages support ! as Factorial? I would have thought such a rarely
used formula would naturally fall outside the language definition and be
implemented instead as a function Factorial(), or left for you to write.

First of all, what demented whacko
decided that != is 'not equal'?  ! is for factorial.  How does that turn an
equal sign into a 'not equal' sign.  However, <> does make mathematical
sense, because something cannot be both less then, and greater then another
number, so it represents an inequality...at least more then a factorial
does!
