This echo is not just for those who already know C, but for those learning, 
too.  Your exclusion of those learning is one of the reasons that you are 
slowly being twitted by anyone who knows better.

I believe I've seen a list of four or five already posted that don't - and 
they're DOS compilers.

Why?  What happened to printf anyway?
 HS> Another error in your previous asseration is your

I never made any such assumption.  You're assuming about my assumptions.
(Here's a hint: you were talking about "accepting non-standard code", and I 
just brought up one of your "non-standard" issues again.)

DM>We're not talking about C++, are we?  I thought this was the C echo.
 HS> Same concept applies to C. You did realize that, didn't you?
Nope - because ANSI C allows conversion from void* to any other pointer type 
- this has nothing to do with C.  Please stay on topic.

DM>Yes, I get the idea that you have no clue about what standards mean.

Something like that.  Now, if you'd stop using infantile logic...
