Anyone care to venture an opinion or whether or not the pANS requires that an #if (or the like) be closed by a corresponding #endif in the SAME source file? Steve Adamczyk

If you look hard at the grammar for the preprocessor, it is fairly clearly the grammar for a *single* file. Everybody I know of who has studied the matter closely has concluded that #if-#endif must match within the same file. -- Mars in 1980s: USSR, 2 tries, | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology 2 failures; USA, 0 tries. | uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu

Of course it does. See the preprocessing grammar.
