Sorry. If I had registered I would have dropped the cross-post. In general where threads are cross-posted between comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++ it is people who don't read comp.lang.c who post messages cross-posted to it which are not topical "here", so in general making such a comment just in comp.lang.c can't do any good. People in all three of these groups (including comp.lang.c) need to watch out for cross-posts and drop comp.ang.c++ where it is a C specific answer, and comp.lang.c where it is a C++ answer, and tell the OP what a bad idea the cross-post is because of the problems it causes.
