[q-lang-users] LPs, CDs and other records

[Tim H. <q...@st...>]

Hi folks,

Do we have some form of record / structure data-type and associated
manipulation functions?

I've trawled qdoc.pdf, hunting for `record' and `struct', but can't see
anything obvious.

I would like to be able to make class definitions and have accessor
functions automatically generated for all the fields therein. 
E.g., how do you say "a Point is a triple (X,Y,Z), Velocity and
Acceleration are Points (ish), and a Star object has Location, Velocity and
Acceleration and mass and colour", and go on to write some obvious
astrophysical simulation?

May it be possible to do this with a macro, perhaps, rather like Scheme? Or
have I missed something in the fine manual altogether?

Ta,

~Tim
