I have the new US Snooze & World Distort, and on p.66 is an IBM ad about voice recognition. The screen show "Testing one, two, three", complete with commas! Does anyone know how they do that?

This isn't a C issue. I am redirecting to comp.misc.

The most likely scenario is that they have somebody type the string, complete with commas, at a keyboard. Or (slightly less deceptive) they have carefully arranged their demo so that that particular situation appears as shown, without handling the (impossible) general case. Evidence to the contrary, anyone? Karl W. Z. Heuer (ima!haddock!karl or karl@haddock.isc.com), The Walking Lint

Though I have absolutely no information on the subject, my first reaction was to recall Clarke's law, 2nd variation: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo." This doesn't have anything to do with C, so please send follow-ups to the appropriate group. richard hargrove Unix: the best adventure game around... ...!ihnp4!killer!richardh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
