I would just like to clarify that currently there are NO FULLY ANSI
COMPLIANT compilers on the Amiga!  Lattice currently is substantially
closer to it than Manx, but there are still many places where Lattice
is still not compliant.  To emphasize this fact even the Lattice compiler
defines __STDC__ to be 0.  I have already notified Lattice of some
places where the compiler is not compliant. Others I have not reported
to them yet.
