    True.  The standard only says that there will be a value
 called NULL, which will be defined in a macro which will be
 found in the stddef.h file.  It does not specify what value
 will be specified by NULL.  It is generally zero, and I have
 never heard of it being anything else, but still, implementation
 defined is implementation defined, and not a strict standard.
 There may be further changes to the standard which define NULL
 as being equal to zero, but that has no bearing on anybody doing
 development work on an older compiler which predates any change
 in the standard.  I would consider defining NULL as anything
 other than zero as human error, which puts it right in the midst
 of the realm of possibilities.  :)
