	not surprisingly, i found a fla w in my getc(fp) program that
	tried to read past "<?" and "?>" ...  the example i added to my
	test file was simply the 2 bytes "<" and "?".  so if you have a 
	stray 

	"<?"

	with a matching close case, the binary hangs on a read.
	so, again, can anybody suggest a better example, in C, to get
	past two delimiters?

	one thought is how gcc parses the "/*" and "*/" comment
	delimiters.  any compiler gurus out there who know 
	where this code is?

	gary
