Thanks for all the very accurate, valid and verbose corrections so my code.
One thing though, you neglected to quote the "/*Note - Untested code... Use
at you're own risk!!!*/" which I put it there for a good reason.  I'm not in
the habit of actually trying to compile these code snippets before posting,
and they usually don't account for every conceivable usage context, so they
quite often have bugs.  So what.. The newbie still gets the point doesn't
he?  A step in the right direction?

Is it just me being paranoid, or do many of the "experts" on this forum not
respond to newbie requests for help, only to wait so they can show their
"superiority" by nitpicking the responses given by others?  Sorry, but it
really bugs me that many of my responses seem to get "shot down" by others
who obviously have a greater mastery of the ANSI C standard, yet didn't
bother to post their own response in the first place.

That's all very well Alan, but as all good dictionaries state... nit-picking
should actually be hyphenated.  Furthermore....... [SNIP]
