Hmm, that's blown my morning coffee break! I'm going to have to take
my "C" copy outside, blow off the dust and then compare function for
function.

Just reiterating previous points. ML help doesn't tell you WHY or
HOW things work, just how to use them. I read NR a bit like
Schildt's ANSI C book - I ignore the code examples.
