Good thinking.  If *almost all* compilers do it, then presumably there are
those which do not.  Hardly *necessary* then, is it?

This is worthless drivel.  What's more, it is completely off the point.
The original message referred to a microsoft product for the *PC*.  Who
said anything about helping Apple? (mind you, I see your point.  Microsoft
did a great service to Apple in developing MS-DOS :-)).


Disclaimer: I have never used any microsoft product, other than MS-DOS
and Word for the mac.  The latter is streets ahead of the former.  But
then, that wouldn't be hard :-)
