Message: [QUOTE="E. Robert Tisdale, post: 1711195"] I suppose that you could make comp.lang.c89 a moderated newsgroup. But it does *not* appear that the comp.lang.c newsgroup is ever going to make the transition from C89 to C99. In order to make this transition, the subscribers to the comp.lang.c newsgroup must encourage the use of the new language features and discourage the use of anachronisms such as C preprocessor macros, for example. Any reference to the old standard should be deprecated. Only references to the new standard should be allowed. C89 and C99 certainly *are* two different languages. C89 compilers will *not* accept all valid C99 programs. [/QUOTE]
