The question was indeed a specific C question. That has never been in
doubt.
This group isn't a specific C group. Point. Try and understand that. If
you crosspost to comp.lang.asm or alt.binaries.erotica you may also get
a non-C answer, whether or not your question was in C. And no, that is
*not* the responder's problem, but a problem for the person who posted
the question. That's the risk you take crossposting to non-language
specific groups. And there is no reason here to flame *anyone* for
talking C++ on comp.djgpp.
