>I'm against continuing the anti-ansi mood >we should go to full prototyping asap. >no-one makes compilers that can't handle that any more.... I am doing the work to go to full prototyping. This involved adding hundreds, if not thousands, of prototypes (a trivial step) and involves fixing thousands, if not tens of thousands, of the type mismatches and bogus casts (a not so trivial step). Minimal support for pre-ansi compilers involves using __P(()) in prototype declarations (a trivial step), avoiding the use of new-style function declarations (this would be too much trouble except most of our code already avoids them). Complete support would include casting function args to a correct type if the default would be wrong. I won't attempt that. Passing 0 for a null pointer works on some machines. Bruce
