It's Astrology software, I wrote years ago back in the days of DOS and
Microsoft C compiler.

Tsk! You could have still used structures with function pointers ;-)

What the hell are ya babbling about?

Indeed, in the early days of Mr Stroustrup's ***** child, a
translator was used to feed a regular C compiler backend. So...

Lot's of "Liberal" coders in APN; small wonder Tony != TRUE

and this has to do with Nostradamus how? ;-)

LOL!

That was the first piece of C software that I wrote in the early 80s.

oriented programming was not as big then as it is now. Plus I was just
starting out my programming career. I did not have that much experience
then.

Nevertheless, the greater challenge was more in the application (to print
astrology charts) rather than the language.
Plus, things were allot harder back in those days because there was no
hardware abstraction layer in DOS and there was no such this as Visual C++
and MFC. I had to write the drivers myself.

But this was not the reason I posted the message. If I knew that this

snippet of code was going to be the scrutinized as such, I would have

something tidier.

Incidently, I don't write code that much anymore, having moved on to more
rewarding things.

This makes light years more sense then McDonald's ravings, but why

define a planet class right off the bat, and declare the planets

objects

of

that class since the methods and properties appear to be identical

each?

:-P

Allo, WhereGoofy... ici Michel?

Vous avez été éperdument amoureux de KKK. En Fait, Vous êtes

tomber

amoureux de KKK. LOL. KKK est une femme de petite vertu. Vous

êtes

un

enfant a la mamelle ! Krib et Chris sont choquantes. Leurs jupes

sont

très courtes! ;) Vous n'êtes pas très brillant en les sciences
politiques. C'est-à-dire que vous étés surtout bête. Aussi, Vous

avez

une mauvaise odeur.




Je ne fais pas lécher les bottes a quelqu'un. Par contre, vous

sucez

quelqu'un jusqu'à la moelle - KKK.
A quelle heure vous allez àl'école maternelle? Je ne veux point
