Part of your problem was the publication you refer to above. As you probably know, the CUJ is only good for playing ``spot the error'' when you are done flipping through Playboy at your local magazine rack. :) Your are extremely optimistic if you expect code from the CUJ to compile, not to mention adhere to some programming language standard and have conservative portability assumptions. :) >I got one of them working after about half an hour of hacking; the >others defeated me. You probably spent more time right there than what it took to write and verify the entire article before printing. :) -- "In My Egotistical Opinion, most people's C programs should be indented six feet downward and covered with dirt." -- Blair P.
