Again I apologize for not doing the actual research. We are using an
ICC Compiler targeted to the i960. The compiler vintage I don't know,
but the initial use was about 1990. I will personally check this claim
and verify it's correctness. Sloppy of me not to do it at first blush.
However, the use of pointers is independent of the failure of
reasonable argument passage. I believe that this is (my own) red
herring thrown in with an excess of self-rightous zeal. Sorry.
