To answer my own dumb (read "I didn't read the manuals closely enough!")
questions.

Yes.

There is no 'arityc.h'.  However, it appears that the one reference to that
file is merely a typo that should be 'apctype.h'.

Uh-uh...I misread the example.  The options exist as advertised.  All I had
to do was switch from

	msc foo /Alfw		(Microsoft C 4.0)
to
	cl /c /Alfw foo.c	(Microsoft C 5.0)

It is documented on page 49 of the "Building..." manual.

It also seems that you can ignore the compiler warning 4058 (address of
frame variable taken, DS != SS) that occurs when getint_c is used.
