Not for me :) Anyway, I didn't understand the comment about their Second Edition being not relevant or not useful. It is useful, but not a very good reference when it comes to standard-conformance issues. > > but if you're into illegal > > copying probably can be found and copied in electronic format. > > A publically available draft from August 3, 1998: Well, I suppose this cannot be a draft of a standard that was defined over 8 years earlier... :) I suppose it is a draft of a newer standard (?) called C9X. When people speak of ANSI C, they don't normally refer to C9X. If you want your programs to be very portable, you better not rely on C9X extensions. -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Mar 25 2003, 21 Adar II 5763 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |If you tell the truth, you don't have to http://nadav.harel.org.il |remember anything. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
