Subject: Denotational Semantics in Z

I have many examples of denotational definitions of languages in VDM,
ranging from one of lambda calculus to Pascal.

I have yet to see an equivalent definition in Z.  Is there some
particular reason for this ?

If there is not could you give me some references as to where I can
find some language definitions.

Yours

Stephen J. Bevan

PS. I realise that being at Manchester I am right in the middle of VDM
    land, but I like the look of Z from what I have seen.

Z Fonts on a Macintosh
----------------------

I wish to print out Z directly from a word processor on a Macintosh, e.g.
Word 4.  The standard Symbol font contains quite a lot of the symbols needed,
and I have also come across one called Alpha Logic which is useful, but neither
has all the Z symbols.  Does anyone have a font for the Macintosh with the
complete set of Z symbols?
