Net.flame doesn't get forwarded here does it? Pascal gives you a choice of either "call-by-name" or "call-by-value". C forces you to use "call-by-value". Many C programmers try to simulate call by name using pointers in the argument list. Of course, I personally would never do (as shown in K & R I think) #define BEGIN { #define END } Steven Ksiazek ...!ihnp4!aicchi!sjk
