[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, Remember me? I commented on the mascot last week. I must say I recevied a full spectrum of responses - most were polite of course :-) . Well, I wanted to tell you all that I have installed FreeBSD and I really like it. I am a fairly experienced Unix user so I'm not new to Unix. Q. Is there a way to specify the default .cshrc file for new users when they are added? I would like to contribute and I am particularly interested in helping simplify the install process. I have about 17 years of software experience and am an expert in C (15 years). Trivia: How do you cast a long to a function pointer? :-) See answer below. I also have worked for years with embedded systems so I understand hardware very well. Again, I must say I am thrilled to be running FreeBSD and I must thank everyone who worked to deliver such a great OS - especially for $50 (I purchased the boxed set) !. Thank You, Greg (McPherran) ANSWER: How do you cast a long to a function pointer. long l; f = ( void (*)( ) ) l; If you like that one I have a tougher one - I have interviewed many sw engineers and no one has ever known the answer.
