Subj: Maximum threads.

Oh; okay. So that test that Vitus was refering to topped out at 1500 
because of the per-process address space available to that particular 
program.

It's a distinct possibility. I've gotten some time and have been reading 
a little more on the topic. I'm still not certain how I'm going to 
attack the project. Nothing's carved in stone yet.

Thanks again. Take care and TTYL.

Subj: Did you get a Netmail?

Hi Mark,

I sent you a netmail a couple of months ago regarding this echo and its
e-list entry. I have not received a response so I suspect netmail is broken.
[What's new there?]

Can you please reply to dwnoon@ibm.net?

Regards

Anyhow, just in case:

/* Rot13 filter */

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
   int c,i;

   while ((c=fgetc(stdin))!=EOF)
   {
      if (c>='a' && c<='z')
         c = (((c-'a')+13)%26)+'a';
      else if (c>='A' && c<='Z')
         c = (((c-'A')+13)%26)+'A';
      fputc(c,stdout);
   }

   return 0;
}

This assumes contiguous letters of course. Extension to non-contiguous is
fairly obvious (but probably unnecessary for most systems running OS/2).

Hello Tom.

19 Sep 99 22:30, you wrote to me:

 TT>       if (c>> ='a' && c<='z')

 TT>>       else if (c>='A' && c<='Z')

Thanks for that... I'm wanting to learn C and now I have something to look at. 
;)

Later,
Sean
