The state of the definition of c is cause to refuse to use it. To be constructive, I have a c-lexicon derived from the MetaWare lexical analyzer that formally answers all these nit-picky questions in a couple of pages. Now, unfortunately, my students and I could not bear to let 019 stand for 17 decimal (and other hacks). So it really isn't c. Is it worth the effort to publish this? Or is there already one out there I have missed? /s/ Bill McKeeman ...decvax!wivax!mckeeman
