Hi Paul



 RM> your program terminated. There's a loose convention (not a rule)



 PE> It is a rule.  0 means success according to the Australian, American and

 PE> International standards for the C programming language.



 RM> that says you return 0 for normal termination, and non-zero values

 RM> for abnormal termination.



 PE> The only things defined are 0, EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE.



 PE> You could give the official version and then say "in the dos world you

 PE> might want to do xyz instead".  BFN.  Paul.



What is Binkley, then? It returns all sorts of non-zero values for

non-error conditions.



 PE> P.S. I tried out your code, but couldn't make it print the reciprocol of

 PE> 360 (or whatever).



Works fine here, prints out 5 numbers whose reciprocals contain

1996. I thought I'd written it portably - do you get any output at

all?
