A new C/C++ syntax checker called "inspect" is available from the AT&T
Toolchest.  Inspect is not intended as a replacement for lint, instead
it provides additional checking.  The additional checks include:

	Dangling elses
	Extra semicolons after if else while and for
	Nesting comments
	Probable operator precedence mistakes
	Assignment in a conditional context
	Breakless case statements
	Missing logical operator
	Other minor checks

Inspect has found hundreds of errors in AT&T products, including many
versions of the UNIX operating system.  Inspect can also be used for
Concurrent C programs but this capability has not been thoroughly tested.

The price is $75.00 for source code and $750.00 for binary redistribution
rights.  The AT&T Toolchest may be reached at (201) 522-6900 @ 1200bps,
login is "guest", no password.  The Toolchest is the only method to be
used in ordering the software or obtaining more information about inspect.
Other questions may be directed to:

	Mark W. Forman			(201) 522-6698
	Toolchest Administrator
	RM 5-223
	190 River Road
	Summit, NJ 07901

Please do not send purchase orders to Mr. Forman.  Thank you.
