I agree. Google's Code Search finds some interesting stuff. Not all -mm, but still. http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=%22nr+%3Ap%22 In particular, it seems :C is used to indicate :p should be reset on a `.H 1'. Co-incidentally, Russ Cox, one of the Google guys behind Code Search, may be familiar from Bell Labs. Cheers, Ralph.
