Since the ANSI standard has been replaced with an identical (except for chapter numbering) ISO standard, I'd say it would be better to use a keyword ISO C, or preferably even the number of the standard (this should be in the comp.lang.c FAQ, which I don't have conveniently handy so I can't include it here). In fact, I'd think it would be a good idea to indicate the version of the standard, not just say "System V". -- Lars.Wirzenius@helsinki.fi (finger wirzeniu@klaava.helsinki.fi) MS-DOS, you can't live with it, you can live without it. ------------------------------ End of DOC Digest ***************** ------- .
