Probably, but directing somebody to an appropriate newsgroup is the only
correct response for the question. The alternative would be a proliferation
of off-topic threads in comp.lang.c which is highly undesirable. It is better
that they be nipped in the bud. It is also the best advice and help to the
original poster since it directs them to somewhere where they can discuss
their question in depth with a readership who have a better chance of
knowing the subject. Posting to the appropriate newsgroup is best for
everybody concerned.
