I have this sneaky little suspicion that Borland has a nearly-complete C
compiler already, and that they are merely waiting for the final draft of
the ANSI standard to come out, so they can whip theirs into shape and
kick it out the door with some sort of "We're the FIRST to meet the COMPLETE
ANSI standard!" type of claim.  I have no evidence of this, but it wouldn't
surprise me in the least.  I can't think of any other reason that Kahn
hasn't come out with something that so many people obviously want from him.
