No problem. These are the risks of posting to a public forum,
especially after a very long absence. From the replies to this message
it is obvious that Al and Chuck were trying to protect the newsgroup,
rather than attack me. Anyway, as you will have noticed, to redeem
myself I've started posting replies to some questions I feel I could
address. Hopefully this will restore the signal/noise ratio of my
contributions; however, I doubt I can address the damage done by your
posting of my obfuscated C code :-) In two cases I found that I could
provide answers to questions by posting excerpts from open-source code.
I'll continue to do that, until I start writing another book or
somebody here tells me to shut up.
