I assume Thad's message is sarcasm but it's sure to cause people to
respond, so why should I be any different.

1.  NULL is not supposed to be a definition ASCII NUL character but
   rather as a mnemonic for an invalid pointer in C.

2.  On two's complement machines, 0 is zero in any base.

What does ANSI C say about -0 on ones complement machines?
