The world does not agree on what a module is, much less what an import or export really is. I'll accept that you intended to helpful in this case, but I don't think you were. The helpful approach is just to explain what C can do, not to try to match that against something you believe to be universal. >> Anyway, I can't stop you writing deliberately confusing descriptions of >> how C works, nor is it likely that I can get you stick to using the >> conventional terms, but it does look like a rather odd way for you to >> spend your time. > > I spend some of my time devising clear and unambiguous language > syntax. Sorry, maybe I was not clear. I meant that it looks like an odd way spend /any/ of your time. I am sure you do lots of other things, but you'd have /more/ time for them if you stopped posting confusing "explanations" about C. -- Ben.
