When is it expected to be available? When will we know the "reasonable cost" of the source? If the cost for the source is _really_ reasonable (i.e. inexpensive) I could see a lot of non-implementors buying it and using it with various "ANSI compliant" compilers from various vendors to ease porting. It's no fun when two supposedly compliant compilers yield different behavior. Getting locales right appears (to me) to be an especially tricky problem. #include<std/disclaimer.h> -- Chuck Phillips MS440 NCR Microelectronics chuck.phillips%ftcollins.ncr.com 2001 Danfield Ct.
