   Okay, here's a question to start a discussion:

   How accurate is K&R II with respect to the (current 
   draft-proposed) ANSI-C standard?  

   K&RII was copyrighted in 1988.  The first page of the draft 
   I have (X3J11/88-91) lists the changes that were made between 
   the second and third draft.  Clearly, some of these changes are 
   incorporated in K&RII (no "noalias" keyword,...).  The question
   is, how does K&RII differ from the latest draft-proposed standard?

   Please don't tell us "as of 1986..." if you don't have
   access to both K&RII AND one of the latest two drafts.  
   (Either of the latest two drafts should be sufficient because 
   there were "no substantial" changes made to the last draft in
   producing the final draft-proposal.  Had any "substantial"
   changes been made, the draft would be open for public review
   again.)
