I was on the ANSI SCSI committee back in the day (like 30 years ago) so I had "special powers" and could get by with dark blue candles and only having to pluck a live chicken on alternate Tuesdays to get my drives to work. I still have a bunch of the old 220/330 ohm DIP packs (the blue ones) to terminate cables if you need any. :-) I was also incredibly stupid back then, so I mistakenly volunteered and got stuffed onto the ANSI C committee as well. At least that had the silliness of PJ Plaugher of Whitesmiths on the committee, too: Under "Bugs" on the Whitesmiths' C users' guide for "onexit() (their library's version of what became "atexit()"): "The type declarations defy description and are still wrong." And under "Bugs" for "cpystr()" (their version of "strcpy()"): "Forgetting the terminating null is mildly perilous." PJ was nothing if not, uhm, "clever". :-p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks(a)alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - "Hello.
