S3, 4.xBSD, and even your beloved V7 also permitted you to omit > 'extern' everywhere... Well, yes, I'd noticed, actually :-). But the original article referred to Vr2 as if it *were* the only thing in the world, so I thought slamming people for Vr2centrism was more precise than slamming them for Unixcentrism. The two statements are not mutually exclusive, since the world outside Vr2 includes the world outside Unix. -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
