This is yet another area in which the C manual is just a trifle vague. My feeling is that it is more correct to accept it than not to. I am prepared to back this up with reasonable arguments if anyone's interested, but not with a "proof" (because ultimately it's a matter of opinion). Yet another issue for the ANSI committee to deal with. (Anyone on that committee listening?) Jim Shankland ..!ihnp4!druxy!jas
