I apologize about the inconvenience it has caused. But it's unfortunate that sometimes I have to change specs. For the rest of the semester, please keep in mind that the spec can change! Usually, when there is a major change or when the change is near the submission deadline, I may extend the submission deadline. I think it should take less than 5 minutes for you to change your code to get this to work. For such a minor change, there is no extension. -- Bill Cheng // bill.cheng@usc.edu On Sun, Aug 31, 2008 at 9:14 AM, Bill Cheng wrote: > Hi, > > As I mentioned in an earlier e-mail, it's a bit confusing to > have a required argument to begin with a "-" character.
