I'm in the second camp but I'm pleased that the mainstream news media has reported the news. I haven't used C for a long time. My last projects were a horrible CGI web database and a fun little LCD module driven through the parallel port. BTW I personally would use puts() instead of printf() in that situation :) Cheers, Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
