(Some companies won't commit to unfinished standards. Ansi still hasn't approved a C standard.) Comparing 1.2 to 2.0 to 2.2 C compilers, ANSI compatability is geting there gradually. You should check Microware's area on Compuserve for official press releases, information on current versions (2.2 isn't), etc. Bob Larson Arpa: Blarson@Ecla.Usc.Edu blarson@skat.usc.edu Uucp: {sdcrdcf,cit-vax}!oberon!skat!blarson Prime mailing list: info-prime-request%fns1@ecla.usc.edu oberon!fns1!info-prime-request
