I never saw the Dr. Dobbs version, but the one in the C User's Journal
doesn't work. (Not under TC 2.0, BC 2.0, or MSC 6.0)

Soap Box: On

Personally, I have been boycotting Dr. Dobbs because of the way they
offer a "no risk" subscription. Get your first issue, and mark "CANCEL"
on the bill. Instead of cancelling my subscription, their distribution/
subscription service sent me threatening letters telling me how my credit
is going to be damaged. Since this is a service and not the publisher, I
am left with no way to contact these people, except through a PO box
in Colorado. That's no way to do business, and I for one will not support
any business which resorts to such tactics.
