And if it's posix, there's c89, which is guaranteed on Posix systems to be the ANSI C compiler. But there is no reason to prevent a system administrator, site, user, or group of people, from being non-Posix compliant, and having a program called c89 which is deviant from ANSI C in some respects. The system would not be Posix-compliant any more, but so what? Isn't it for the users and administrators of the system to decide if they want a Posix compliant system? The one thing that would be a disaster is if GCC tried to enforce Posix naming conventions through license terms! But this is exactly what latex is doing... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
