I run some older versions of software that I've had now for many years. With every release of FreeBSD, I simply recompile it and off I go... I compile this code with -traditional, because of assumptions about parameter promotions... So, every new release I send out mail showing how I tripped over some ANSIisms in our include file (e.g. "const".) Thus, even though we don't have to use a K&R compiler; and likely never will - we may continue to have a need to compile K&R sources. - Dave Rivers -
