	I have having a lot of problems with THINK C v4.0, it seems to
be full of bugs, and somewhat less Unix friendly than v3.0 or 2.0.  For
example, strncmp() does not work correctly.  Try the following program:

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
	char *str1, *str2;

	str1 = "This is a string";
	str2 = "This";

	printf(" %s : %s - %d\n",str1,str2,strncmp(str1,str2,4));
	}

Since I do not speak 68000 asm, it is not clear to me where the bug is.
Since many other things have stopped working, I am not certain how many
there are.
