IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT I APPRECIATED THE QUESTION "WHAT IS A FLOATING EXCEPTION?", SINCE IT HAD SHOWN UP THE OTHER DAY DURING A COMPILE AND I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT MEANT EITHER. PERHAPS THE QUESTION WAS TOO TRIVIAL FOR MOST OF THE UNIX-WIZARDS, BUT THEN TRIVIALITY IS RELATIVE. IS UNIX-WIZARDS JUST A FORUM FOR SUPER HACKERS TO EXCHANGE TIDBITS OR CAN US IGNORANT FOLKS TAP THE WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE WHEN WE CANNOT FIND ANSWERS ANYWHERE ELSE?
