Personally I hate 'writing' programs with :

  if (strcmp(name,"hippo")==0) ....

I know 'strcmp(a,b)' is designed to return 3 types of value :
-ve : a comes before b.
  0 : a equals b.
+ve : a comes after b.

but it drives me balmy (not completely balmy though!) all the same.

Anyone got a cure?  At the moment I'm trying DIET COKE!
