Also don't dispense off-topic advice.
I believe that the OP is a friendly young man with good intentions. His
question is of the variety that we kick out the door pretty quickly in clc.
One thing you learn after a while is where programming languages stop and
OS's start. There IS intelligent life on usenet outside of this forum. It
takes a while to find, though.
What is germane to this forum? I don't know the answer to this question,
but, before tonight, I would have said that it is obsessed with finding
obscure errors. The paradoxes of finite-state automata ensure a ready
supply of these, and I think Johnny von Neumann has the last word on it:
avoid bad scenarios.
I would love to tell the story that motivates this response, but it can't be
done without telling how I intentionally hanged windows in a public emporium
using a guess from the C programming language. Ergo OT. EC
