Would it be at all possible for anyone who feels the urge to
contribute to this thread to read the comp.lang.c frequently-
asked questions list first, before posting anything more?  (If
you just joined us, this is a *very* old topic, at least for
comp.lang.c, and nothing new is being said.  If comp.unix.sysv386
finds this fascinating, please remove comp.lang.c from the
Newsgroups: line.)
