1.  We can't "let you have it" if you're wrong, because your news system is
putting out such badly-broken headers that there's no way to reply to you.

2.  It's not a good subject for the C language group because the answer
isn't related to C, just as Christiansen said.  It depends on the OS.
Why would you think that language-independent, OS-dependent questions
should be asked in an OS-independent language-specific newsgroup???
