- Let's see:
-
- ues5:~/tmp 20> uname -s -r
- OSF1 V3.2
- ues5:~/tmp 21> man cc | grep -i iso
- ues5:~/tmp 22>
-
- Not all 3.2's are born equal :-) (mine is 3.2a)
-
- But I find the 3.2c man page confusing, because it talks about ISO C
- and ANSI C as if they were two different standards and not two different
- names for one and the same thing.
