There's nothing wrong with "I'm having a problem with malloc, I'm using
Turbo C, etc...". It's the people who then carry the discussion to a
comparison of the relative merits of Park City and Salt Lake City... I
mean Turbo C and Microsoft C... that are the problem.

We need a periodic posting for comp.lang.c, I fear. And some *polite* form
letters for the folks who ask "what is int86(21), I know it's something to
do with DOS, but..."?
