However, let me point out that in ``fixing'' a program one must be careful that the behaviour is not altered (unless that is part of the fix). Article <1217@ihuxe.UUCP> by foss@ihuxe.UUCP suggests using a while loop, but the code fragment given does not do what the original code in <180@chinet.UUCP> did. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
