Agreed -... one of the hardest things to accept about C (or any of the
function-based languages) is that you typically do have to map out a strategy
in advance. Those of us who were used to programming by the seat of our pants
(i.e. on the fly) initially rejected this approach as being too stiff and
arduous. It's really whatever you're used to (or GET used to). I find that
prototyping in C is a breeze because you can 'stub' off whole lower levels and
just get the flow of your program up and working first. Classic top-down
design, and conceptually simple as well.

I have great faith in you Bill... if you can work on Mtsmon, you're a lot
sharper C programmer than you give yourself credit for!
