ANSI >should have done less work. If the criterion for language design were always "easier to understand, easier to use, easier to implement, and less surprising", we'd all be programming in BASIC. The point is still that Reiser was wrong and ANSI is right. Had ANSI adopted the Reiser behavior, perfectly correct (by K&R1) C programs would have become broken. I can't see the justification for that. I guess we agree to disagree. -- Steve Jenkins N6UNI jenkins@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov Caltech/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (818) 354-0162
