hpux9, hpux10 and hpux11 do *NOT* come with an ANSI compiler.  If you
have code which uses ansi prototypes or ansi function definitions and
you have not purchased the ansi compiler you will not be able to build
that code on hpux9, hpux10, or hpux11 systesm.

I don't really remember if hpux8's compiler allowed ansi or not.  Too
long ago.
