Well, isn't this a fine attitude to have! Not only is this reply absolutely
useless, but it unjustifiably implies that this person may have acquired
his copy of Microsoft C in a less than legal manner. Isn't a person still
innocent until proven guilty in this country?

It is entirely possible that Mr. Tessler has read the section of the manual 
that was cited and doesn't understand it. It wouldn't be the first time that
a computer manual was less than adequate. It is also possible that, for any
of a number of perfectly legitimate reasons, Mr. Tessler does not have access
to that section of the manual.

It is bad enough that the alleged "software piracy" problem (please, please, 
please! - let's not start a discussion about this, because it won't solve
anything!) has everybody paranoid, but that's no reason to refuse to help 
somebody with a problem just because it LOOKS to you like they may have 
pirated copy. Like my mother used to say - "If you can't say anything nice, 
then don't say anything at all."
