This is incidental to your question, but while reading the code to
determine the cause of my earlier problems with posting, I found you could
add the "Organization" header to your post.

    /* add Organization: */
    { FILE *fp;

      if (fp = fopen("/etc/organization", "r")) {
         if (fgets(user_input, sizeof(user_input), fp) != NULL)
        fprintf(fd, "Organization: %s", user_input);
         fclose(fp);
      }
    }

The file "/etc/organization" normally doesn't exist, but if you have
privileges you can create it.  With sources, you can change the reference
to your own file. It's sort of like a .sig.

They keep telling me, "Shhhhh!"
