Anonymity? His name was on the posting ...
Besides, I think the first posting was just as much "posturing" with
it's derogatory tone about "Char" vs. "char". I agree with John ...
no, I'll go even further and say that I think Palm was being downright
silly when they insisted on new names for standard library routines
that all C programmers are familiar with (i.e. "StrLen" vs. "strlen").
