For any comp.std.c readers who aren't totally clear on what's going on: Seebach has been making a bunch of false statements on gnu.misc.discuss about portability, speed, and various other things. Some of the statements would have been true if he had said ``ANSI C'' instead of ``C.'' So now he's trying to drag the discussion over to comp.std.c, where it's not so unreasonable to assume that ``C'' means ``ANSI C,'' and where he hopes people will jump to his defense. Anyone who actually wants to see more of this discussion should hop over to gnu.misc.discuss. ---Dan
