ISO C is well-maintained so that it's now superior to rune, I think. Sorry I'm not sure but rune API is slightly different between 4.4BSD and Plan9, isn't it? It's not a standard. Sources of the standard commands are often used as a living textbook to other programmers. They should be as `good' as possible, and in my opinion `good' includes `standard-complient'. > Note the mailing-lists named in the headers of this message. I know that. Just FYI.
