It was thus said that the Great Fred Cisin once stated:
    In K&R C (I don't know from ANSI), it was
recommended that an int be
 whatever type was easiest to deal with. 
 ISO C section 6.2.5 paragraph 5 says about
the int type: 
 
 K&R .NE. ANSI
 K&R .NE. ISO
 NOTE: "K&R" refers to edition ONE.
 Later, K&R wrote a different book to document a different language 
 
  How does K&R C (which I don't consider C) differ from ANSI-C?  I mean,
besides function prototypes, formal variable argument functions and a
standardize library of functions I can rely upon to exist?
  -spc (struggling with C code at work that at one point must have been K&R,
        and it shows ... ugh)
