Well, it's not quite that simple.  I'm surprised that apparently nobody 
looked at Symantec's 4.0 manual.  On Page 1, under "What is THINK C?" it 
says:

     "The standard C libraries include all the functions specified in the
     ANSI C standard, as well as some additional Unix operating system
     functions."

But on page 10, under "More ANSI C Compatibility" it says

     "Many new language features in this release make THINK C more
     compatible with the ANSI C standard.  Although THINK C is close
     to the standard, it is not conformant as defined in the standard.
     The remaining issues either are of little significance or would
     require fundamental changes to THINK C.  For more information on
     ANSI compatibility, read ... Chapter 57."

Chapter 57 is the language reference section.  It specifically mentions a 
few differences with ANSI, but it doesn't say whether those are the only 
differences.  To be sure, you'd have to know a lot more about the ANSI 
standard than I do.

It's a real nice C development system, in any case.
