Hello netland,
				 sorry if this is a rather vague question, but my problem is
that I learned C on a pc using Turbo-C, and now I'm trying to write in C
on a unix box (BSD and Ultrix) but nothing works!!!!!.  All of my pc source
gives multitudinous errors under unix, and I'm not talking about obvious
stuff like DOS specific functions, but things like header files in different
places, or not there at all.  Function prototypes seem to give cc a fit, and
I also get a lot of miscellaneous errors and warnings like "warning: old
fashioned initialization" that I cannot make sense of.  I'd be really 
grateful if anyone could give any general rules of thumb for converting
between the two environments.
			Thanks in advance
