Thank you for this comment.  Also, could people please limit
their source lines to 80 (or better, 79) characters?  Otherwise
various news handling software breaks the lines in places that
are in many cases inconvenient.

Oh, Anton, while I'm thinking of it - use int main( void ) rather
than void main( void ).  When I first compiled your program the
void return type on main() gave an error and I had to edit the
source to fix that.
