            I guess I'm going to have to either get smarter or be more
       obnoxious if I want to make the next list of:

	     WHO'S WHO IN COMP.LANG.C

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

       Why can't I use:

	    if (free(ptr), NULL+1 = (char*)getc(ptr))
	    #include-only-once-no-matter-what </dev/null>
	    /*/* fascist C compilers */ "foo"[a] = '??!'; */

       to set my overflow bit?  Geez, ANSI really screwed that up!


Oh well, guess I'll just have to work on that being smarter business,
