I said that C couldn't tell the type of functions, which of course isn't true if the function is a) declared or b) seen by compiler before it is used. What I actually MEANT to say (as I hope was clear from the context), was that C couldn't know the types of function PARAMETERS in a function call. Just wanted to forestall any flames. -- Dan Frank "good news is just life's way of keeping you off balance."
