- "Only ANSI guarantees portability."

- Having read a number of dubious statements from you, I am beginning to
- wonder whether you really have experience in porting large C programs
- Sure sounds like someone talking about what they have learned in class
- SHOULD be the case, rather than someone with a lot of real industrial
- experience talking about what IS the case.
-
- Am I guessing right that you are a college student with limited real
- world experience.
-
- One of the interesting things about Internet is that you never know who
- anyone is (Kazimir would be interested I think to learn about soe of the
- people whose opinions he dismisses so casually :-) However, reading
- enough of what they say gives one a basis for guessing at least!
-
- If I am wrong, and you really have had a lot of industrial experience in
- moving large C codes, then I apologize (but am very surprised!)
