	I admire how your gcc 2.1 works on my DECstation 5000/200 (Ultrix 4.2),
but it seems to be erroneous not to reject initialization of the static member
inside class definition. Let me illustrate it by example:

[ 191 > cat one.C
#include <iostream.h>

struct item {
    static int y = 1;
};

main(){
    item x;
    cout << x.y <<"\n";
}

[ 192 > cat two.C
struct item {
    static int y;
};

int item::y = 2;

[ 193 > g++ one.C two.C
[ 194 > a.out
2

	For those who only red the first edition of Stroustrup's book
it is not obvious that "one.C" is invalid,  so it is very suitable to
report error on this, like Borland C++ does.
  
	Sincerely yours, Sergei V.Lopatin.
