From: Michael B McIlrath <MBM@MIT-XX> Date: 1 Jun 1982 1038-EDT I believe the "op=" construction when used in the form x op= y, means "convert y to type of x, and then do it". This operates the same way in the RItchie compiler. In fact if you equate 3.9 to an integer you get 3, since the rule there is "truncation towards zero". --mike -------
