Is there defined behavior in the ANSI C specification for the
result of a malloc() of zero bytes? Microsoft 5.1 returns
a non-NULL result where Borland C++ returns a NULL result.
Please EMAIL results; I am not fed this newsgroup. Many
thanks in advance.Phillip Lindsay "Those environmentalists are just trying to ruin the world."
