I think I would like to run with this analogy for a little while longer. I happen to like it. You see, what I'm asking for is far from passing a final judgment. What I'm asking for is a special kind of bike that I can store in my Ferrari somehow and use it on those special occasions when I'm really stuck someplace. I happen to like the analogy because as much as Ferrari is not the type of car that would land itself easily to any kind of roof rails or roof racks C language is the same way. Thanks, Roman.
