I'd say either just go with 'C', or go with 'S' but leave the ISO code=20
there. i.e. if you do that latter and someone defines ISO, then they will=
=20
have a compile break to fix.

I'd say leave the ISO code. Since it's ifdef'd it doesn't hurt. Plus,=20
someday I think we should get the ISO code running (if only on two=20
machines on the same subnet).

Take care,

Bill
