Hello Richard!

Replying to a message of Richard Wallen to All:

 RW> Hello All!

 RW>  start = time('e')
 RW>  rc = FtpGet(filename, filename,"binary")     /* Transfer
the file */ 
 RW> elapsed = time('e')  
 RW> calc_cps = sizehere/elapsed-start

Shouldn't this be:
calc_cps = sizehere/(elapsed-start)

instead of what you wrote:
calc_cps = (sizehere/elapsed)-start

Multiplycation/division has precedence over subtraction/addition

(division sounds absolutely wrong, but what is the right word?)


 RW> A little more each day...

Bye, Erik!
