	Try again. Structure assignment was first introduced (along
with enums) in ``Recent Changes to C'', dated November 15, 1978 in 
my 7th edition, volume 2A manual. Some of the micro compilers probably 
didn't have it at first, along with other ``unimportant'' features (like 
floating point). If yours doesn't have it now, get a better compiler.
