	You need to read up on your standards. The language called C
 is defined by only one authoritative standard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (E) (C)ISO/IEC

Contents ix

5 This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, ISO/IEC 9899:1990,
  as amended and corrected by ISO/IEC 9899/COR1:1994, ISO/IEC
  9899/AMD1:1995, and ISO /IEC 9899/COR2:1996.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

	Thus, I need have no such qualifiers when talking abouit
 conforming C implmentations.
