I switched to C after several years of BASIC and Pascal, on a recommendation from my eldest brother. I got my FreeBSD commit privileges for fixing deadlocks in the console driver which I stumbled over while toying with Mike's splashkit and trying to write a graphical screensaver (which later became logo_saver). Prior to that, I had submitted a handful of PRs about bugs in configuration files and scripts. The kernel scared the beejezus out of me at that time :) DES -- Dag-Erling Smorgrav - des@ofug.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
