Well and there I was believing that it was because they used ASR33's or
some other slow paper teletype kind of thing. Now why they dropped the
trailing 'e' from the creat() system call is going to extremes. :-)

As far as economics are concerned, France took the best action - none. Their
markets corrected themselves. FDR's accomplishments stand out more for their
social and psychological value than anything. The programs, themselves,
weren't overly harmful and they put quite a few people back to work doing
some constructive and needed things. The harm came later as those programs
and controls persisted into the modern day.

Amen to that (Just gave them a healthy chunk of dough and am none too happy

Ah, but you CAN killfile articles with certain foul words that appear in

Sez you. Personally, I think the STL is a very well-engineered idea,
although as usual Microsoft, by actually implementing it to spec,
bodged it somehow. :-) It turns out MSVC++ 6.0, or the header files
compled thereby, want std:: everywhere, unless one wants 'using
namespace std;' near the top of his programs. As far as I understand
it, this is to perfect spec, but it is annoying.
Then again, g++ is freeware; just because it's freeware doesn't
mean it's perfect. I'm not even sure g++ and gdb interact correctly
on Linux yet -- I've had gdb think it's deep in string.h when it's
actually somewhere else. How I report that as a bug, I don't know.
I can't reproduce it on tiny programs. And of course g++ and std::
don't get along well for some reason.

Actually, they still do. They use a front-end loader, and dump a couple
