GPS systems
*redundant* Arguable. You can say that the S in GPS refers to the system of satellites that enable the receiver/computer unit to determine its position, while the last word refers to the receiver/computer unit as a system. It's like "LCD display": the screen is made up of many small components, and you can take the D (standing for display) as referring to one of these, and the second "display" as the whole. In any case, off-topic for this group, so I'll shut up now. -- Mark Brader, Toronto, #define MSB(type) (~(((unsigned type)-1)1)) My text in this article is in the public domain.
