Hiya People... Sorry non-comp folks...this one is only the first of a whole stack of computing chaos...some may be comprehensible to some of you, but I'm not going to guarantee it...

For example, the first block of code would read: charlie, doubletime me, OXFACE! not interested, get out mainly die, charly, *die* signed charlotte The original source had control-L's after each code block. To make it easier on news readers, we converted each control-L to a blank line. Some ANSI compilers will not accept '1s' as a short integer - for these compilers replace the '1s' with '1'. Selected notes from the author: This is a "Picking the Daisy" simulation. Now, instead of mangling a daisy, simply run this program with the number of petals desired as the argument. This is a good counter-example to peoples' complaints that C doesn't have an "English-like" syntax. Lint complains about everything - null effect, xxx may be used before set, statement not reached, return(e) and return. Lint dumps core on some systems. My personal favorite lint complaint is "warning: eroticism unused in function main". Also obviously, (char)lotte and (char*)lie are incompatible types... */
