Some problems can only easily be solved with recursion.  I use it about 2=
-3
times per year.=0D

In fact, the last two times I used recursion was when working with
hierarchies.  One time=0D
was reading in and processing files in a series of folders and subfolders=
,
the second time=0D
was taking information from a database (for a shopping cart) and displayi=
ng
it in a =0D
category/subcategory view.=0D
 =0D
=3D=3D> It can be done as a loop too. I am sending attached a console pro=
gram
that erases all =0D
the contents of the disk. It does it using loop. It asks the user for
confirmation before it does=0D
it. The program was written at the time that i was learning C, so it is n=
ot
written nicely.=0D
I just kept it to remember the old days. :)=0D
