Hi

Regardless of what your question is, read the beginners document in
news.announce.newusers. One of the items handles picking a decent
subject for your article. If you post to comp.unix.questions, a subject
like "A UNIX question" is about the worst you can imagine, it says
nothing, since the newsgroup name duplicates your subject completely !

Since your question regards C programming, put something like that in
the subject. Also, crossposting to comp.unix.programmer might help too
