The language can be very precise as well. You may well have understood what he meant, but those of us who have only been speaking the language for 55 years, myself, didn't.

Normally I wouldn't have bothered but I was really curious as to what prompted his vitriolic (in my opinion) response. -lee -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
