One thing that's always annoyed me when using THINK C is the manner in
which errors are reported.  If a source file has a number of compile-time
errors, the compilation process must be performed several times as a
single error will stop compilation without checking the rest of the file.
A much better system would be to report all errors in, say, an Errors window
BEFORE ABORTING the compilation.
   This would save much time when, as is often the case, a large header file
is included and a large chunk of code compiled before the buggy function is
reached.  All of this compilation time must be performed for each error.
