We used to (and maybe still do) sell a t-shirt that was a C language reference chart. It was printed upside down, so you could refer to it while you were wearing it. As for a VI mug, I wouldn't let it sit on my desk too often because you can only get into so many flame wars before you toss that mug at somebody's head, and break one or the other. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Wertz (tm) http://www.clbooks.com/ Computer Literacy Bookshops, Inc. for technical book info. stevew@clbooks.com info@clbooks.com works also ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
