Is that right? Just about every C book I have mentions the two allowable
ANSI-C formats. Or do you mean K&R when you mention 'the original
standard'? Anyway, I can understand people who have only ever programmed
for GUIs not needing to worry about command-line arguments.
It doesn't bode well that the first thing I see on joining this group is a
flamewar :-) (I'm new to Mac, but I consider OSX to be brilliant because of
my UNIX background, and Project Builder is as easy to use as VB). I guess
I'll just put it down to healthy self-expression.
