Well, I find that most C programs nowadays are written backwards : main() on top and functions below. Having learned C from K&R, that's backwards for me. But the point is : I put up with it. No whining and no expectations that everyone will want to follow my preferences. Tolerance, dude. There's too much intolerance out there in the world today already. Ben
