Before I left for a weeks holiday in the mountains, I posted,
in reply to a somewhat dumb question (the question itself was
not dumb, but posting it worldwide was) another very dumb question
about "main" in C-programs.
I thought the sentence:
>>> Thanks in advance, I need your help desperately!!!!!!!!!!
(which nobody quoted) would serve as a smiley. It turned out that it didn't.
I apologize for all who where mislead by my posting, and thank everybody
for their friendly but alas worthless replies.
I was just trying to point out, that if anyone has a simple or beginners
question about C (especially when your on an university) can be asked to
your fellow student, your practicum assistant or colleague.
You should NOT post it worldwide.
The question WAS a joke.
Allthough I have been a winner in Obfuscated C Code contests, I really
am quite experienced with C... (-:-) (siamese smiley)
BTW. Have the winning entries of the 1989 Obf. C code contest
been posted already? If not, they should, otherwise I will do it.
(That's a threat.)
Cherio,
