I have submitted version 4.2 of config.c to comp.sources.misc. This is a program that determines many properties of the C compiler and machine that it is run on, such as minimum and maximum [un]signed char/int/long, many properties of float/ [long] double, and so on. As an option, it will also produce the ANSI C float.h and limits.h files. As a further option, it will even check that the compiler reads the header files correctly. It is a good test-case for compilers, since it exercises them with many limiting values, such as the ability to handle the minimum and maximum floating-point numbers.

I have suggestions for changes though, why not come over?"- Ez.
