   According to K&R2, (pg 233), __STDC__ must be defined, as well as
(insert your own __ 's)  LINE, FILE, DATE, TIME.   However, since
5.1 is not ANSI, __STDC__ can't be 1.

  To me, it appears to be a ANSI compatible way to say that you're not
ANSI conforming.  Maybe (?) in MSC 6.0,  __STDC__ will == 1.  If not,
I don't know what they're waiting for.

Flames just enlighten me.
