That's what mine says too, Auke. Not actually reserved. Only advice to avoid using some of them. It isn't a syntax error if you do abuse them, as it is with the keywords. I'll take a look at the draft of 9. If that says the keywords are no longer reserved words then I'll believe it and move on to another language. We've lost at least one (entry) already. :-) Meantime, there are two very obvious exceptions to your interpretation - struct (which is actually reserved) and strftime() a standard library function usually declared in time.h. :-) Best wishes, Bill. --- * Origin: bill@escan.demon.co.uk (2:2504/200) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 239 C LANGUAGE Ref: F1500028 Date: 01/03/98 From: SIMON AVERY Time: 07:26pm \/To: JOHN RICHARDSON (Read 2 times) Subj: Tagline program Yo, DJ John!

You're right. And I was going to suggest something similar (like 'L' instead of U as I didn't know what U was until after a few posts) but I got to thinking too much during my first eply.

IMHO, the system is always constantly changing, so you can't really be sure that a space in memory can always be allocated, unless, you could try alloc? Tika ...
