      Hi! Wilfred,              On 23 Aug 16 13:19, you wrote to me:               PQ>> The appropriate word is sent. I see this form often misused.               WV> I probably write that all the time. Because in my mind (mint?;)) it        WV> sounds like a 'd'. And you do write 'sending' not 'senting'... ;)              Bugger. I knew I should have bitten my tongue.[grumble] One day I might       learn the lesson. :)               PQ>> Ah, I've just re-read the proposal. I see what you mean. I'll        PQ>> quit using my botched effort.               WV> Isn't that a bit of an extreme response? ;)              Only if users weren't aware of the proposal's wording, to compare output.               WV> It's better to get any response than no response.              That's what I thought at the time.               WV> As you mentioned it was a prototype, I thought you could use the        WV> feedback to fix things?              It has needed a fix for nearly 14 years. I no longer do anything in C; no       compiler, no can do fixes. If it can't do the job properly then it need not       be there.              Cheers,       Paul.              ...
