Hi Bo,

 BB>     UNTIL is not a keyword in C, but I agree with the sentiment.

    The sentiment I was agreeing with was that "you pays your penny
and you takes your choice." I.e. if there are many ways to do
something it is a little hidebound to restrict yourself to one of them.
However that goes with the caveat that I do not EVER have pages and pages
of code inside a function in C. It is so easy to define new functions that
it is silly to complicate your life by failing to do so.

    Obviously I knew about do {...} while() loops, thank you. They ensure
that the body of the loop is executed at least once, and that is their sole
virtue. "Do" is a keyword in C, "while" is also a
keyword; "until" is not. Unless it is defined as a macro or a
function, using "until" in a C program will simply introduce
newbies to yet another source of syntax errors.

Best Wishes,
Bill.
