They violate the C89 standard, but they're part of the C99 standard, which I believe the MAME team is eventually moving toward. They're kind enough to accept patches that fix C89 violations such as variable declarations in the middle of code, but I don't know how reasonable it'd be to demand changing all the comments. It may be received as well as a request to change everything to K&R pre-ISO/ANSI style. :-) _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
