This is really a suggestion for Think Pascal, but it probably applies to
Think C as well:

Have an option so that files will be saved *before* compilation starts.

Many times the compiler has crashed during compilation (undoubtedly due to
some gaffe of mine the previous compilation), but the changes don't get
saved until *after* the compilation finishes.  

This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's aggravating.
