First of all, note that none of "newsgroup", "google", "FireFox" (and
others) are mentioned in the C standards document(s), therefore this
thread is all very off-topic.  And for that, you get the usual 40 lashes.

Second, has anyone stopped to ask themselves how "Warren Tang" (I know
I've seen that name before) managed to post here at all, given that he
(supposedly) didn't know the "server address" nor how to use "google groups".

Something's fishy...
