Hi,

   Can someone ``in the know'' please inform me whether ANSI C *forbids*
the appearance of the keyword ``auto'' in function prototypes, i.e.:

----------------------------------------
int
foo (auto int bar);
----------------------------------------

I realize this seems like a silly thing to do, but I've actually found
a good use for it under certain pathological circumstances...

thanks,

        Doug
