    Can one of you C guru's help me please???

    to cpjust, yep program 123 needs to be a separate program, infact program 123 is written in assembler language because its functioning at the operating system level, it has a twin called 456 which does the inverse of the functions that 123 does. the reason for two programs it KISS, to me a...
