I DO NOT AGREE WITH MIKE AT BRL ABOUT CHOICE OF FORUM.!() *   (
AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, 99% OF THE MESSAGES I RECEIVE VIA UNIX-WIZARDS
ARE JUNK MAIL.  IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT I APPRECIATED THE QUESTION
"WHAT IS A FLOATING EXCEPTION?", SINCE IT HAD SHOWN UP THE OTHER DAY DURING
A COMPILE AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT EITHER.

PERHAPS THE QUESTION WAS TOO TRIVIAL FOR MOST OF THE UNIX-WIZARDS, BUT
THEN TRIVIALITY IS RELATIVE.

IS UNIX-WIZARDS JUST A FORUM FOR SUPER HACKERS TO EXCHANGE TIDBITS
OR CAN US IGNORANT FOLKS TAP THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE WHEN WE CANNOT FIND
ANSWERS ANYWHERE ELSE?
