Nah. The fact that the Standard happens to be a document is totally incidental and has no bearing on the Standard's use of the term "document" in the context of "the implementation be accompanied by a document...". The Standard is also a sequence of characters, but that doesn't mean that providing its own definition of "character sequence" for the purposes of discussing string literals, or header files, or whatever, would be circular. -- Chris Volpe Phone: (518) 387-7766 (Dial Comm 8*833 GE Corporate R&D Fax: (518) 387-6560 PO Box 8, Schenectady, NY 12301 Email: volpecr@crd.ge.com
