Yann, Sorry for the delay,
In simple terms, no; it is obvious the compiler (other people use other names) just sees that as a single item list, and complains about the syntax, regardless of how many items are in the list.

To be honest up to this point the compiler has been able to build everything (including all of httpd-trunk), and I proposed the small variations suggested in the diff on the grounds I (and evidently a few others) thought the suggested format was clearer.

However, it is not MY intention to limit in any way the functionality of tomorrows software solely so NetWare can make some show of trying to keep up. I've no idea how much more coding is needed for your project, and it may be that the next change or the 100th from now will be beyond the capabilities of what tools I have to use, and the race will be over for both the horse and the rider. Code as you see fit and if it eventuates that NetWare can't keep up, there's a lot of others who will.
Regards,
Norm

Herewith an svn diff that implements line-by-line initialization of three

I acknowledge upfront that 'my' somewhat dated compiler cannot handle the
list method, whereas the method portrayed in the diff is totally acceptable
to it.

Does it accept x = {0} still?
