    Hmmm...  I thought that was the case, but I couldn't find it in
 the standard.  Maybe I should have looked at 6.2.2.3 as well as at
 7.1.6.  Where else is it mentioned?  I remembered that there was
 a difinitive statement to that effect made once upon a time in a
 C_ECHO thread, but I can't remember the exact reference.  I know
 that I made it a habit to assume NULL==0, but not why.

    Okay... further reading along this thread indicates that I may
 safely assume NULL==0.  I also found out that my standard is the
 old standard.  (annotated by Schildt!)
