I have the 2nd Edition, which has a separate chapter dealing with "draft
proposed ANSI C". I personally prefer this approach, exactly for the
reason you mention: not all the compilers I use are ANSI. Perhaps the
other changes in the 3rd Edition (I assume there are some) would make
it worthwhile to have.
