      From: address@nospicedham.not.available              Robert,              > So the same words can mean "two quite different things"? Gosh,       > that almost sounds like a description of ambiguity!              Thats not going to work I'm afraid, as you are simply repeating yourself.              You know what I see ?              Someone who made a mistake in making a statement about an end of program       return to address 0000 and thus exit the program - mind you, you had no       problem with COM or EXE ambiguity there - which does not work for an EXE       style - pardon me, *MZ* style programs, and trying to cover that up by       "grammar nazi" some other, contrived point.              And no, I do not regard an exception-to-the-rule as something that causes       ambiguity. *Especially not* when that exception is the result of an       on-purpose altering.              > "An MZ format executable".              Teriffic, I really should remember that.              See, not *that* hard to acknowledge that you did not think of something.              But for now, goodbye. I have no desire to play this kind of games.              Regards,       Rudy Wieser              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
