Hi all,
  This is my first post to the list.  My name is
Ciaran O'Riordan and I am writing a book on 'GNU C'.
(License is GNU FDL).

  I've been testing a lot of things but was surprised
to find that I could write to 'const' variables of
both local and extern scope.  I did recieve a
warning message but was expecting an error.  Could
anyone tell me why this is allowed?

Thanks.
