Hi ,
I don't know ISO C standard so what u said is right accroding to the ISO C
standard but I am working on WINDOWS / VC++ IDE , I know we can change the
charcter in constant string in VC++ by setting the option available in
workplace/project(.dsw/.dsp), alteration of constant string in VC++
environment was allowed and also most of the embbeded C/C++ compiler will
allows becoz I saw in 3 embedded C compiler.

I need one favour ..................where can i get the ISO C standard
preperaly free copy. can u send the link or copy of it.

many thnks
