Actually, the comment is not for the function. It only describes the two lines that follow. In C the string "NULL" is commonly a reference to C's NULL value. Anyone reading C code can be excused for assuming that if it isn't otherwise clear. How about "Indicate that the attribute is NULL if out of range..."? Although, the more I think about it, the more I think that the comment is both confusing and superfluous. The code itself is much clearer. -- D'Arcy J.M.
