When did DEC embrace ANSI C?
The standard happened in 1989 (ANSI) and 1990 (ISO).
I am not sure when DEC C 4.0 shipped, but given that
VAX C never existed on Alpha, then together with the first
VMS Alpha release in 1992 seems like a good guess.
And it takes time to implement a new compiler, so
it seems likely that the ink on the printed copy
of the standard was barely dry before management at
DEC said go.
But I don't think John did C back then - as I recall
it was:
Pascal - Reagan
Fortran - Lionel
C - Vogel
