But C is where most people cut their teeth - making their stupid
errors for the first time. :-)

My most irritating experience with C was in Turbo C.  To initialise
the graphics driver you have to call initgraph which takes int*'s for
the graphics mode and driver to use, and a char* for the path to find
the drivers in.  So I had the following code.

	int gd = VGA, gm = VGAHI;

        initgraph(&gd, &gm, "C:\TC\BGI");

Now why wasn't that working?  :-)

enter a newline character into that string)
