And please, please, please release something ANSI compatible (ESPECIALLY prototypes) in the mean time (can you say yesterday?). Sure there are a lot of neat features that can be added, but the Amiga needed this from the start, and I REALLY wanted it when I bought my copy of K&RII - almost a year ago!!! Will the first version of Amiga Aztec C++ come about the time an ANSI committee has been started and completed a standard? Or will it be a few years after the draft standard has been pretty stable and adopted by all competition? -- dTb dTb I know enough about epistemology to know that I don't know anything about programming OR epistemology!
