   I was responding to Scotty Lurndal's statement that the C   
   standard was being paraphrased (by someone, it didn't matter to   
   me who).  I don't care about whether his statement is true;  my   
   interest is only in what part of the C standard he thinks is   
   being paraphrased.  He is in a position to answer that question,   
   and more to the point he is the only person who is.   
      
   Unrelated matter: a couple of your recent postings show a name   
   change to a longer form of your name.  I don't know what might   
   have prompted that change, but for what it's worth I like the   
   earlier shorter form better, if only for consistency with   
   earlier postings.
