One key tip is to *carefully* look at the name of the newsgroup *prior*
to posting a question, Josh. If Turbo C++ is indeed to be your speciality
(as indicated by the wording of your message), you will find that there
is a newsgroup where your posts are likely to be more welcome than they
are here. That newsgroup is comp.lang.c++. You may also find
comp.os.msdos.programmer to be of value. Here in c.l.c, the only computer
language spoken is pure, portable, (sanctified) _Standard_ C. Amen.

[Excuse me for straying a bit...but have other readers noticed an
almost unprecedented flurry of extremely off-topic posts just within
the past few days? Might it be related to a new school year? Hmmm.].

And in what way is a question about programming tips from a person who
says he's using a tool that compiles pure, portable, (sanctified)
_Standard_ C off topic?

Yup. I've also noticed an almost unprecedented flurry of messages
telling people to use another newsgroup, even though there question is
perfectly suited to this one.
