(dot). So far as I know, there is no pending proposal to make '.' and '->' equivalent. One of the committee members has been tasked to promulgate a procedure to the public for making proposals to the committee. Watch comp.lang.c++ and comp.std.c++ for more information. The committee met this past week (12-16 November), and will meet again next in March 1991. -- Steve Clamage, TauMetric Corp, steve@taumet.com
