In reference to C programming style, I'd like to point out that it might be 
good practice (if you have a compiler such as Borlands that does C and C++) 
to compile even your straight C programs as C++;  this will enforce
prototyping for you and make sure (mostly sure) that you are calling your
functions correctly.

It's worth it just for removing those nagging doubts as to whether you _did_
prototype everything.  Let the compiler do the work, I say.

"The possessed's mad speech is the higher wisdom of the world, since it is 
human...Why have we not yet acquired this insight in relation to the world
of the free will?  Because outwardly we are the masters of madness, because
the insane are violated by us, and we hinder them from living according to
their ethical laws...Now we must endeavor to overcome the dead point in our
realtionship to insanity."       --Wieland Herzfelde, 1914
