Since no one has commented on this:

No, I have not heard of any problems using ANSI C and SoftBench.
SoftStatic, SoftEdit and SoftDebug continue to work fine, whether compiling
in ANSI mode or K&R mode. SoftBuild uses K&R mode (the default mode) for
building C files: if you have ANSI stuff (like prototypes), you should be
specifying -Aa in the options field (or bury it permanently in the
makefile).

Oh, and once again: ANSI C is currently available only on the series 800
machines for HP-UX 7.0. The series 300 ANSI C compiler will be released
soon after the release of HP-UX 7.0.
