Re-read your comments and then sit down and consider whether or not all of the time you spend trying to master Unix and C have affected you in any way.

Ha, Ha, Ha :-{

Mastering any programming language takes it toll on everybody.

I remember a time back in college when I was working with Turbo C++. I would usually give my filenames, um interesting/creative names usually based upon how big of a pain in the @ss the program was to code.

All was well until one day I printed off a program to hand in. A few days later the program was returned with an A and a strange circle at the top of the paper. I looked and saw the circle enclosed the name 'upyours.cpp' I realized I had forgot to disable Header/Page Number option. I had managed to include the name of the file on the top of each page of the code.

Good thing the instructor had a sense of humor!
