Generally standards are good, except in the case of Microsoft :) If they would have abonded the backward compatibility with their 16-bit DOS then we would have had 32-bit operating system the first time (was it in -87 or -88 ?) the 386 processor was released by Intel. (Yeah, I know Unix gurus have had 32-bit OS for over two decade...) But when it takes too long for one group to release one then there is no other solution than to make as "general" code as possible and hope for the best. > Oh, and C is and will be a better standard so use C instead ;) > I agree.
