The format is a set of guidelines, followed by rationale, examples, notes and exceptions. The text explicitely avoids lexical issues Many of the portability issues deal with the floating point system, due to the authors interest. Though certainly not perfect, I highly recommend it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alex Blakemore Internet: blakemore@software.org Software Productivity Consortium UUNET: ...!uunet!software!blakemore 2214 Rock Hill Rd, Herndon VA 22070 Bellnet: (703) 742-7125
