It's a non-ANSI thing too.  The switch can't help you do things
like this.

FA> Oh ok, so i'll just say #include  ?

No, that's not what I mean.  You can't claim it is ANSI when
you are including something called , which you will
not find mentioned in the ANSI standard when you FREQ it from
3:711/934.

FA> Others ? No way ! :)
FA> Is there a way of doing cursortype ISO spec ? I have seen it done in 

No.

FA> assembly
FA> somewhere, but that doesn't make it ISO, does it ?

No it doesn't.  You can't do it in the C language.  You have to
use an extension, whether by a compiler-specific function, an
assembler function you write yourself, or some other method.

FA> Apart from not being ISO that code has it's moments IMO.

I was not commenting on that at all, just the comment about
you using the ANSI switch.  BFN.  Paul.
