It's true that implementations can't put non-Standard-specified identifiers in the standard headers. But implementations aren't required to put identifiers in headers to reserve them. The Standard itself makes this clear, at least if I read it aright--selected identifiers beginning with is, to, and str are reserved even if they don't appear in headers. Which is why I'd still like to see something such as Only external identifiers and macro names described in the Standard as reserved shall be reserved. in Section 4.1.2. -- ado@vax2.nlm.nih.gov ADO, VAX, and NIH are Ampex and DEC trademarks
