If Microsoft is interested in standards compliance (their products and
practices certainly don't indicate that), then Visual C++ has got a lot of
changes overdue!  It adds to the standard and deviates from the standard in
areas so basic that I have to warn my (second-term) students about the
problems!

Thanks ... that's not so bad, then.  You can just use the standard part
if you choose.  The way they talked, tho, they kept emphasizing standards
compliance.  I guess in their minds "standards compliance" meant that
supersets are OK, while in mine it doesn't.  Oh well.
