Still, it is pretty pleasing as a programmer to learn that somebody has taken your (low-level) code and compiled it on an architecture that you've never touched before (different endianness, OS, compiler, and larger pointer size) and find out that self-tests you included with the code JUST WORK. Anyways, I was pretty happy when this happened to a protocol stack I wrote. Writing code like this takes some attention to detail... --kevin -- The joy of engineering is to find a straight line on a double logarithmic diagram. _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
