I have already ... but there are some incomplete informatio... about the 
history... i don't know  where look for it in the source... we need the 
history... 
  
Here are some of the topics we are going to report about the Es 
programming language...

Background
   * who invented it and why?
   * can u categorize the language (object-oriented, functional, etc.)
   * what other language(s) is it descended from? 
   * in a nutshell, what did it add to its predecessors? Waht did it take 
away?
   * how has the language evolved since its introduction?

Basic Properties

   * general overview of the language 
   * language evaluation criteria
   * implementation method
   * primitive data types
   * names
   * bindings
   * type checking
   * strong typing
   * scoping
   * referencing environments
   * type compatability
   * data models

Special Properties

   * anything special you find interesting
   * what can this language do that others can't?
   * for what application would this language be suitable?
   * for what would it not be suitable?

if u could give some of the ftp sites so we might be able to look for 
it... and if you could give us some file attachements that we need... 
thank you very much...
