I'm not so sure about that, actually. Traditionally, the 'X times on the blackboard' spec has not included newlines at the end of the statement - with sentances that don't take up the entire width, it's a waste of space. See Bart's example text on the blackboard, from the Simpsons intro:
http://picassomoon.com/products/posters/p1945.jpg So I'd say it's less a bug, and more an implementation of the specification that differs from what your friend is familiar with. It could perhaps use a space after the ., but again... it all depends on the preference of the coder (and possibly management). -Brad Ken Barber said: > This just in, from a friend of mine: > > ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- > > Subject: RE: Wow, a comic-strip author that knows C > Date: Friday 03 October 2003 11:32 > From: "Peter Shearer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Ken Barber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > Well, there's a bug in his code.
