MWC (Mark Williams) will probably upgrade as soon as the ANSI draft proposal
is adopted.  They already publish an "ANSI C" manual which contains
everything in a lexicon format (sorta like their regular C manual).  They are
ready to go as soon as it is passed.

Does anyone know if any major (or minor) changes have been included in the
draft proposal?  The MWC manual is copyrighted 1988 and I was wondering if it
would still be worth buying.
