1) This newsgroup is comp.os.msdos.djgpp, not comp.lang.c.  However,
   that code IS permissable in comp.lang.c because ...

2) The current C standard includes this capability as well, so the
"non-standard" notice only applies to C89 which is no longer the
standard anyway.  I should not have included that notice.
