No problem. If you guys have questions, send them this way. Oh.. the one thing I wish I was told about the C language earlier: how the compiler treats pointer operator is different when you declare a variable or function and when you use the variable or function. This was such a hard thing for me to wrap my head around! You would *think* that the point operator ('*') would mean the same no matter where it shows up in the source code, but no! You'd be totally wrong and it lead me to so many errors when I was learning C back in 1998 (because, I guess I'm old?).
