I don't think it was really mandated, just the usual way of doing things. Remember, K&R C is the king of implementation dependent details. :-) >I was hoping James Hendrix's book may have been freely available now, >but that doesn't appear to be the case.

I've found various sources for the pdf, including an iso image Dr. Dobbs (supposedly EVERYTHING Small C there was) claims to host (they presumably still care about its legal status). I was hoping for something a little more flat text.... Hope you find your book! Amazon only wants $100 for a used copy....

I don't remember it being mandated in the C language (at the time anyway), so it's not violating the written law of K&R as it were.

I was hoping James Hendrix's book may have been freely available now, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I've still no idea where my copy went, and I'm starting to get a little OCD over that. -- Regards, Daryl Tester Handcrafted Computers Pty. Ltd.
