How about the UNIX System V AT&T C++ Language System Release 2.0 Product Reference Manual Select Code 307-146. Not quite as rigorous as ``Whatever the latest release of Cfrond does.'' but a good starting place. I understand that the next document from BS will be a specification for implementers and other language lawyers -- or so he stated at a conference last February. When it's done it may be what you're looking for. --marc -- // Marco S. Hyman {ames,pyramid,sun}!pacbell!dumbcat!marc
