If you're proposing changing the coding guidelines away from KNF on this I'm all for it. In the last year I've worked with two DSPs and a 64K address space microcontroller and all have had halfway decent ANSI compilers. I can't imagine what we would ever port to that wouldn't have a decent compiler - I wouldn't choose a microcontroller compiler that didn't support Standard C. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
