And if you were a beginner and had a question, would you ask other
beginners or the 'wizards'? It's funny, but the Borland programming
forum on Compu$erve gets as much, if not more, traffic from beginners
as this group gets, and their questions are treated as respectfully
and as seriously as the difficult stuff. I have yet to see the letters
'RTFM' posted in a message there. Can't you people grow up and remember
that you were once beginners at C as well?
