I am not sure what you are talking about. I know of no such tax. We have
an income tax and a property tax.

I was wondering if anyone could direct towards finding out about paintball
games near (within 60miles) Corvallis.  I played paintball once before and
would like to try it again.  Does anyone know of any places around which offer
games or organizations?

Jeeez, I'm almost embarrassed to post this. *Almost* :)

For Christmas, I got a Super Nintendo. Er, I mean, my *KID* got a
Super Nintendo. Is there a newsgroup out there where I can ask a
question about Super Mario World? (It really has become an addicting
obsession!)

In specific, I wnat to know how to get through the Haunted House in
Vanilla Dome??!!! What am I doing wrong??!! These darn green jello
looking things keep killing me!! And once when I had a yellow cape on
Mario, I flew above the green jello bouncing blobs, but when I went
through the door, I ended up at the beginning again! AND IT'S DRIVING
ME CRAZY!!!!

Well, now I have thoroughly humiliated myself, but at least maybe I'll
get an answer...cuz...

I *know* I'm not the only parent who is playing this darn game. :)

Thanks in advance,

Donita

What you really need is the book that diagrams the entire game.

...don't leave home without it.

Don't know where it is available around here, but I would be quite
surprised if T'R'Us doesn't have it.

There are many hidden objects and keys required.  There's even a place
where you can get unlimited refueling (wings and all).

I know all this from my nephew's machine.  I decided that regular
Nintendo was too addictive, Super Nintendo would just put me out of
business.  I don't even bring the machine home, I leave it at my
inlaws.

Anyway, the book is invaluable.

Packwood denied the Post allegations before the election and, I believe, he went so
far as to tell the Post that it would be irresponsible of them to publish the story.

just like he's refused to answer any polite well-meaning letters from
constituents for the last 4 years - but hey, Oregon voters must really
value his support of the timber barons, not to mention the wonderful '86
tax "reform" that boosted the hell out of MY income tax.

Yes, he tried to dig up some dirt on the ladies, told the 
Washington Post about this.  The result was that the WP
went back in re-investigated the ladies to see if his 
accusations were true.  This happened several weeks before the
election, and delayed the report until after the election.

Also, the Oregonian knew about the their accusations, but chose
to keep quite until after the election because "they did not
have enough information".

This is kind of a repost...

I have a beautiful round cut diamond (apx. 1 ct) for sale to any interested 
parties!  The color is I-J and has very few occlusions in it.  If you are
interested in seeing the stone before considering purchase, e-mail me, and
we can set a time and place.  The stone has not been officially appraised,
but several jewelers tell me it would sell in there stores for $3000+, I
will consider reasonable offers well below this - try me, I might surprise
you!  The gem is loose, but would look lovely mounted in a solitare.

P.S. If a perequisite to purchase is an official appraisal, I will do this,
but not unless someone is seriously considering

Why does the floating value 0.0 print with an exponent
of +01 in printf %e format?  It is printed as 0.000000e+00
on the DECstation and VAX.

/* printf_zero.c */

#include <stdio.h>


int
main (argc, argv)
int argc;
char *argv [];

{
  double dr1;


  dr1 = 0.0;
  printf("dr1 is %e  %f  %g\n", dr1, dr1, dr1);

} /* main */

$ cc/standard=vaxc/float=ieee_float printf_zero.c
$ link printf_zero
$ r printf_zero
dr1 is 0.000000e+01  0.000000  0

     You call printf() and then longjmp() out of a signal handler and end
up surprised that there are problems?  The surprise I have is that it
seemed to work reliably on the VAX to begin with.  You can't portably call
any C library function from a signal handler except signal() itself with
the same signal number, _unless_ the handler was triggered by a call to
raise() (or abort(), but there doesn't seem any way to control it).

     I don't know whether or not DEC expects your code to continue
to work as it did on the VAX, because I haven't seen any documentation
describing what sort of portability they've tried to deliver.  I'd
rather see portable code handled efficiently than have crippled run-time
behavior in order to accomodate non-portable code such as your example.

     Try something like the following for your handler.  If it also fails
to reset itself properly, then you've got a legitimate complaint.

#include <signal.h>
volatile sig_atomic_t ctrl_c_count;

void ctrl_c_handler(int sig)
{
    ctrl_c_count++;
    signal(sig, ctrl_c_handler);
}

Now that's bizarre.  I looked up the fprintf's "e" format in the ANSI standard
and it states:

     4.9.6.1   "...  If the value is zero, the exponent is zero."

I think you need an answer from DEC.
