Someone asked about escaping from foo () { foo ; } Someone else gets "ksh: foo: recursive call" I tried it and got the same result. Then I tried foo () { echo $1; foo `inc $1` ; } where 'inc' is essentially main(n,a) int n; char **a; { printf("%d\n",atoi(a[1])+); } It is up to 216 and counting. A number comes out every 2-3 seconds. Why is this so high? I see no real difference from the case which uses no arguments. -- George Tomasevich, ihnp4!twitch!grt AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ
