- This article contains a massaged diff list comparing the previous
- revision of the comp.lang.c frequently-asked questions list (last
- modified November 1, 1995, last posted February 1, 1996) and the
- current one. These diffs are not suitable for input to a patch
- program, in part because of the massaging, but more significantly
- because the changes this month are to comply with the recently-
- passed U.S. Communications Decency Act, and if it's necessary to
- censor text in the new version, I obviously can't show you what
- it used to look like.

- something like "floating point formats not linked."
