Agreed. > Do you reckon anyone is going to be interested in something as > trivial as a conversion to C90? Yes. The conversion might possibly introduce a bug. Or someone might want to get hold of the latest version of the function prior to its conversion to C90. Or, there could be any number of reasons. Including the function names in the ChangeLog entry when doing these conversions is tedious but it is not that hard to do so I think that it is worthwhile. Cheers Nick
