The eighth revision of `Notes on Writing Portable Programs in C' is now available. The authors are A. Dolenc [ado@sauna.hut.fi], A. Lemmke, D. Keppel [pardo@cs.washington.edu], and G. V. Reilly [gvr@cs.brown.edu]. The abstract says: This documents describes the features and non-features of different C preprocessors, compilers, and environments. As such, it is an incomplete document, growing as information is gathered. It contains some material concerning ANSI C but it is not a substitute for the Standard itself. We assume the reader is familiar with the C programming language. The document follows in the next four messages: `portableC.sty', `portableC.bib', `part1.tex', and `part2.tex'. Parts 1 and 2 should be concatenated together to form `portableC.tex'. The document can be obtained via anonymous FTP from sauna.hut.fi [130.233.251.253] in ~ftp/pub/CompSciLab/doc. The files `portableC.tex', `portableC.sty', `portableC.bib', and `portableC.ps.Z' are the LaTeX source and style files, BibTeX and the compressed PostScript, respectively. Alternatively, there is a site in the US from which one can obtain all four files, cs.washington.edu [128.95.1.4] in ~ftp/pub/cport.tar.Z. All files are in the public domain. Comments, suggestions, flames, eggs, and requests for copies via e-mail should be directed to gvr@cs.brown.edu during December, and ado@sauna.hut.fi thereafter.
