I've just finished porting a rather simple application from THINK C to
MPW C.  After changing all the standard header names, the program compiled,
but it didn't work quite right.  After much deliberation (and a bout with
SADE), and finally a trip through the manuals, I discovered that MPW's 'int's
are 4 bytes long (whereas THINK's are 2 bytes).  There was a small section
of code that relied on the size of plain integers.  After changing those ints
to shorts everything works fine.

My question is: What other elusive differences do I have to look forward to
when porting from THINK C to MPW C ?

Thanks,

Mike.
