    That's one of my favorite "forgots".

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    Thank you for posting I think i shall begin memorising (try to atleast (= ) the libraries you mentioned. If I ever get an understanding of those ones I shall move on to going through the rest. Thank you again for your time (=

    I'd go the other way round. I remember the functions I need, and then what header I have to include for them.
    All the buzzt!
