This is comp.lang.c most of the articles I've just read from Mr Houghton
(about six) were just noise corrupting the bandwidth of this newgroup
that is more appropriate for mail to the author. I know this comment
should be mailed to Mr Houghton, but it is also appropriate to others
posting non-newsgroup related items. TAKE YOUR FLAMES ELSEWHERE!

If you wish to flame me for this post to null.newsgroup or mail to
