Re: [Dev-C++] Question about increment..

Thanks for all the comments.. I had posted to mingw-users mailing list
as well, I had lots of good responses there (I had posted here w/o
looking at those responses..)

for those interested, you can see these at:

thanks once again for your time.

best, murali.
