Bill,
  No, for loops can use whatever you want.  One often used method in linked 
lists is traversing them:
list* l;
for (l = FirstListItem(); l = ListNext(l); IsEndOfList(l))
{
  /* code */
}

Why do we concern ourselves with ANSI rules?  So that when we post our 
questions and problems, that we can understand each other.  And so that when 
we post our code, that others can use it.
