To Ken Arnold's complaint about `enum' types in C . . . . I gather what he means by implementation error is that lint throws fits, since it's the only side effect cited of the fact that enums are equivalent to ints. I see that as a problem with lint, not with the implementation of enums. I use lint, but take what it says with a grain of salt, and don't necessarily strive blindly to work around lint's `error' messages just to get my program to go through `clean.' Personally, I haven't had problems with them. Perhaps Ken could cite some cases where code using enums doesn't work the way he thinks they should? Harry
