A while ago, someone posted a program that checked a c source file to
verify that it was not violating ANSI syntax (or was that it checked to
see it conformed?). Anyway, I think it was posted to this group, or
to comp.sources.atari. If the author (or distributor) is reading this,
can he please stand up.
  I am away on the other side of the country, so I cannot check my
archives. If I find it, I will repost. That will be a few weeks away.
Cheers, Des Young.
