I'm sure you are correct, but it was not clear to me that the original 
posting should have been a [PIC] posting.  I try very hard to adhere to 
the guidelines, which say:

[PIC] Should be at the start of the subject line for most postings
to the PICList. This says that a PIC microcontroller (or clone) is
directly involved, connected or the entire subject of your post. Any
person who works with PICs would want to read it...

Now, my posting dealt entirely with the C language -- not with the PIC 
microcontroller.  I suppose there is a PIC "connection," but it would be 
very tenuous.  That said, however, I'll try and do better next time and 
use the [PIC] label if there is any connection whatsoever
