:I am not a programmer, but I have taken a couple of C classes. Am I mistaken, or is 9999 an "EndOfFile" code for C? As I vaguely remember this, The date October 9, 1999, was speculated to be some sort of problem with C.
End of file, or EOF is -1 You are probably thinking of 0xFFFFFFFF, which is what it looks like expressed as an unsigned variable.
How did you like C? I think it is cool. My favorite language is C++, which is even cooler.
What's your opinion of pointers? Fun aren't they? :)

That would also explain the endless JW predictions that the end is coming soon.
