Thanks for the info. To many a coworkers dismay, I periodically revert to the K&R style. It just seems more readable. C got me started in my career. The only language that you could grow by adding your own native code functionality! Without C we would not have C++, Java, JavaScript, and that Microsoft garbage J++, C#.
