[comp.lang.c] FAQ list erratum

In article <1991Feb6.070307.1970@athena.mit.edu>, I wrote that
ANSI-compatible versions of lint were available from two
companies: Gimpel Software and Mortice Kern Systems.  I know
there are two companies out there with lints (someone posted
information about both of them recently), but MKS isn't one of
them.  If the person who posted the succinct summary of
commercial lint availability would _mail_ me the correct
information, I'd appreciate it.  In the meantime, don't pester
Mortice Kern about lint -- evidently it's a question they get all
the time already.

I can definitely verify that MKS does not have lint.  However, it is a
good idea for an MKS product so I have suggested it to the product
development department.

There's a small typo in the FAQ list posted yesterday.
In question 62, the sentence

     You will have to give the structure a tag ("struct node"),
     and declare the "next" field as "struct node next;".

should of course read "struct node *next;".

Thanks to Chris Torek for pointing this out.
