Be my guest Thierry, and with my thanks.
There might have been a time when I might have tackled it as I have walked
around in and emitted some C code when I was in my early 60's, but that was
both on simpler hardware, and something over a decade ago now, and what I see
being called C today bears little resemblence to the simplistic K&R I cut my
teeth on 20+ years ago.
