Another good point about C is that GCC gives very useful compiler warnings for it. I find that the warnings that G++ issues for C++ code utterly baffle me sometimes. GCC warnings tend to tell me very clearly "you were doing fine until that character right there on line 43". It seems to have the right level of forgiveness for code that isn't quite perfect, it will run but it will warn you about how it was a bad idea. Regards, Tony V.
