Well, it was created for UNIX. Linux inherited it by default

I hate nix, so I don't know a great deal about it __________________ Your high priced security consultant\'s plane ticket: $1500 * Your high priced security consultant\'s time: $200/hour * RealSecure nodes all over your company: $200,000 * Getting owned by 0day: Priceless

Once you've learned C++, just find out what is NOT part of the C99 standard and you'll be fine. __________________ Christopher Ingram Principal Consultant, Souken Group, LLC.
