First a real question about Linux/C (I can hear you all gasp)
I have been thinking about the previous thread about changing text in all the 
files in a single directory. To do it in Perl seems very easy but I have been 
having a look through my books and cannot see an easy way of doing it in C. I 
suppose I could call Perl from the program but that defeats the object. Is it 
really that difficult to do it in C???

Also
In my quest to get to grips with C I have been using Vi and gcc. In a 
commercial environment what are you all using when you program in C/C++. I 
know that Visual Studio seems to be the defacto for windows but what are 
people using to program the applications for the Linux environment. I have 
seen Glade and Kdevelop. Would it be better to stick to Vi, make and gcc 
until comfortable then move to one of these programs????


OFF TOPIC...........
Hi there, 
I am indeed back in town as I need to get some Christmas shopping done.  I 
have re-read some of my recent posts and I am going to have to stop writing 
emails when pissed. Maybe it would be a good idea to have some drunk 
detection software on Linux that stopped all outgoing correspondence or a 
special user profile, I think this, at least in my case would be a fantastic 
idea. 
I am in town shopping with the very SO so will be able to come for a swift 
gallon and catch up. It will give "god" an opportunity to meet the culprits 
who have turned me into a geek. Where is the parched throat of geekdom to 
have its thirst quenched this time and at what time?
