Dan,

This may, for reasons that are beyond me (no CS background btw), make
wintel-centric compilers improve the code generated, but it is _not_ portable,
and unless I am wrong, it is _not_ standard C.

If someone could clarify this, I would appreciate it.  If by chance I am wrong,
my appologies Dan.  But it won't compile like this in Codewarror.
