Answering the query by Mark Donnelly (!ihnp4!motown!mergvax!donnelly):
If you are willing to do all program development in C, get Microsoft C
for the MS-DOS machine and just do program development in C on 4.1BSD.
Constantly refer to the Microsoft C manual and use only those features
that are portable to it. The major difference will be in names of
flags to I/O routines and the unavailability of fork(). If you're
careful your C programs will recompile and run on the MS-DOS machine
without a hitch.
Thomas Plum in "Reliable Data Structures in C" discusses the creation
of macros that let you write calls to I/O functions in a portable
manner.
