Subject: Apollo ANSI standard C?  How close?  Should it matter?

As chair of a Local Apollo Users' Group, I have been asked to find
out how close Apollo C under 10.1 is to ANSI C?  Local Apollo sales
support indicate that it is "close", but apparently this is not
definitive enough :-).  Can any one comment (knowledgeably) on how
Apollo C deviates from the standard, how long it will take to conform,
and whether there are differences in libraries or other important
places?
