I blame stupid people for the software vulnerabilities. It's so good because it allows such a fine level of control and you always know exactly what's going on. I like to know that the code I write really represents the instructions sent to the CPU. Other languages do funny things behind your back, which is fine, but in my opinion, it's not a reason to blame C. --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
