Richard- Sometime in the mid-80s I developed an Apple II modem communications program for a small software house. Once the Apple //c came out I had to rework all the lowest-level routines for the new hardware. My source code was sprinkled with comments about needing to "take care of the f**king //c". This is source code, right? Never gets delivered to the end user.
Imagine our surprise when a customer called in one day and complained that his 14-year-old son had crashed the program and there in the middle of his screen was a message about "the f**king //c". We scratched our collective heads and finally came up with a plausible explanation: I had allocated a 1k buffer for text storage, and the compiler apparently had just grabbed whatever was in memory at the time in the place where it wanted its buffer. Source code, comments, and all. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
