- Kudos to Mr. Pop for this on-target reply. It's refreshing to see that
- non-C language, platform-specific postings from that etherworld of
- yoon-ecchs are as unwelcome as those from other operating systems. Too
- often, articles in c.l.c. appear dealing with popen(), fork(), getpid()
- and other non-Standard matters. Maybe these errant posters feel that
- simply because "the one true" OS and the language share a common New
- Jersey breeding ground, such off-topic posts can somehow slide by.
- Let's hope that the above reply will spare us from additional articles
- about zombies, daemons, orphans and other non-C language topics.
