- Silhouette 16y agoAh, yes. Another little piece of comp.lang.* lore: the expression "Bullschildt" was not invented for nothing. See also his annotated version of the official C standard, which at the time it was published contained not only Schildt's comments but also the complete text of the standard itself. The standard was available from the international standards bodies for a small fortune, yet the annotated version was available in bookshops for a modest fraction of the cost. It was widely speculated that the difference in price reflected the value added by Schildt's comments.
