I'm impressed. That's a beautiful example of how not to program in C.

I like your comment. Honesty is a precious asset.

>I like your comment. Honesty is a precious asset.
I'm glad you approve. You'll get nothing but honesty from me. Anyway, did you have a question that you needed help with?

It's certainly an excellent example of not following the rules
http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforum...cement8-3.html

A lot of people just find other posts to read when presented with pages of unformatted code.

Well said!

Faced with the choice of code and no question vs. a question with no code, I prefer the former...

There was no intention to ask a single question about this specific code.

I am aware of shorter ways to do the same, I am aware that I am not as skilled as most around in this forum, and the code is here just for any other beginner who would like to use it.

I have plenty of questions but I ask them at the right time.
I am also looking for C literature resources.

I'm not the kind of guy hanging around others to learn.

Only when jammed at a given point I will use artillery and ask you, hoggy doggy?

Nevertherless I sincerely appreciate every single comment here appended.
