Just thinking...I'd also like it if newbies would specify their
development platform as well. Too many times, I'll read through
an email, figure out their problem, then go to send and then they
come back with something like: "I don't know C, I'm using Satellite
Forms" or something. That's pretty frustrating, too. I even wish
that people would specify between Codewarrior/Constructor and GCC/
PilRC, as standard C conventions are similiar but apart from that,
they're fairly different as far as interfacing, etc. goes.
