Our group at Intel has recently completed porting about 35,000 lines of VAX/UN*X code to the PC/AT using Microsoft C, version 4. We had the usual fun with longs and ints; learned that you need to be careful to declare huge pointers properly; found that their implementation of stdio does not handle writing the same file concurrently on different streams correctly (not too surprising...); but found *no errors at all* in the compiler. Every other piece of microcomputer software should work this well. What a wonderful, wonderful world it would be....
