     No, I'm just saying move the read.  The original code looks like:

No, the read should stay where it is.  We are not going to

    Right, and that's why I'm not saying that the conditional should be

I don't understand what you're suggesting here.

In general, an `else' clause of an if-then-else statement is odten
executed somewhat faster than the `then' clause.  This is because it
typically just needs one branch.
