<> Okay, enough already. return (expr) is used by some folks, including yours truly, whose first language was not C. The first programming language affects how you think and see other, subsequently learned languages; so many other languages use return (expr) that an experienced programmer would, when learning C, consciously or unconsciously, map return expr into something already known. This isn't a crime; so what if it looks like a function call? Give me a break! This newsgroup should probably be called net.trivia, although that one already exists. How about "net.mental-masturbation?". grumble grumble ++++-----++++****/*/*/*/*/*matt kaufman
