You are kidding (a c++ hater perhaps?).  I think this is legal c++,
and even valid main() prototype.  Correct me if I'm wrong please.

You are right about me.  It's the "last beta".  I tried hard to
assemble a fairly recent but stable djgpp "distro" and I'm very
satisfied now (using gcc 3.3.4).  I'm enjoying the mallinfo() (not in
2.03).

About the standard...  I'm unfortunately unable to access it.  I
purchased just the ISO c++ standard which, obviously, doesn't touch
things belonging to the C library.  May be I should use iostreams then
:)), but I *so* dislike them.

Well, thanks for the explanation.  Have to work around it.  BTW the
API is pretty idiotic IMHO, why not return the count of stored/scanned
items always?

Egon
