What you are describing does not appear to be either ANSI or traditional C, unless I misunderstand Harbison and Steele. K&R and ANSI C ran on plenty of operating systems that had no /usr/ include directory and didn't even use forward slashes as directory separators, including VMS, CP/M, DOS, MS Windows and the 'classic' Mac OS. So I really don't think you have any ground to claim that the traditional Unix include path is somehow baked into any C standard. In any case, not that it makes any difference to this argument, but it's true that the ISO spec Jamison was quoting from is newer than ANSI C. You might want to invest in a newer copy of H&S. Things have moved on a bit since the original ANSI C standard was ratified in 1989 — C99 has some very useful features, not to mention the (!! nonstandard!!) extensions found in GCC. ;-) This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
