The documentation (The C programming language -- Kernighan and Richie)
states that structure assignments draw an error message but that it is 
expected that they will be allowed on later versions.
Unix v7 documentation under a "Recent Changes to C" section states that  
structure assignments (together with other goodies like enumerated
types ) are now acceptable in C.
