	Yes.

	Can't give you an example; that would be fraternizing with the
competition... but I can tell you where to look:

	printf.c in the UNIX source at the college you go to, or have
a freind look it up for you.

	Can't give you ours; it's a part of TERM :-).

PS: Found the crypt-breakers workbench yet?  It isn't (apparently) in our
local archives, so I haven't been able to send you a copy.

PPS: You are getting 2 signatures... check your .signature file :-(.
