 BL> LIST

  That's what *I* expected. But it needs *LIST or (void *)LIST. This
is the one thing that *really* gives me the shits with C. 

  In Pascal, if the syntax is not clear you just try a few things and
see what the compiler reckons. In C, the compiler thinks everything is
great. You have to run it and even then it can work. What I have to do
is awful things under Windows, and see if the bloody thing locks up!
And even *then* I am not sure if it's right!

  Oddly, the best way to fuck it is put in lots of printf()s with odd
format strings. If something odd happens, I cna usually lock it by
whacking in printf()s all over the place, and then sort out where it's
going stupid by removing them one at a time.

  I like "UNIX" better than Posix. I get this image of programmers in
a Chinese brothel surrounded by eunuchs. "Posix" just doesn't have a
good image.
