In a recent posting in response to a rather long series of questions regarding
the pros and cons of HP snakes v. Sun Sparc 2s, an ambiguity was left unresolved
concerning whether the C compiler under HP-UX 8.0 is ANSI compliant.  We haven't
gotten our snakes yet, alas, but we are running HP-UX 7.0 on several machines.
When invoked with the appropriate flag ( -a, I think) cc will indeed deal with
ANSI C.  I presume that HP will not take a step backward when moving to 8.0.
