Jon, at a seminar G Farr spoke of    C  Eval   Inx = ++  being the same as
Inx = inz+1

I am sure I have that wrong, but there was some thing he was showing us.

>> Yes, it is valid. The first + is the "continuation indicator"


I'm sorry but you are incorrect. There is no such thing as continuation
characters in C specs other than to continue a literal.

In the example given as Jim has pointed out - the compiler treats it as
indicating a positive literal. It will apparently also work this way with a
variable name. If however you code 3 + signs in a row you'll see an error.
Note that because spaces are not significant in expressions the + and the
literal/variable can be separated by a space/
