Who knows) writes: Rumour hath it that 10.3 has an ANSI compiler. That would be nice. A better lint would be nice, too. Then rumour is unprecise. What is true is that the 6.8 compiler is an ANSI one, but only if you run it under SR10.3. And then the programs you compile with the ANSI option set will not run under SR10.2 and earlier (at least that is how I read the documentation). By the way, the suite of *.8 compilers will be known as the CR1.0 compilers, for reasons unknowable to man. By the way, I would have thought that type checking and the proper use of function prototypes would help to make lint obsolete? - Harald Hanche-Olsen Division of Mathematical Sciences The Norwegian Institute of Technology N-7034 Trondheim, NORWAY
