I gave up using the Greenhills C compiler on my Clipper-based machine.
I use the Norcrofy C compiler, which is full ANSI, and the same as
runs on ARM, IBM mainframes, Transputers and other machines.  The
Fortran seems to work OK but I have not given it a major work-out.
The C is faster to compile and produces better code.  It is hard to be
certain about the Fortran...

I declare an interest; these compilers are developed by Codemist Ltd,
a company of which I am a director.  The majority of the systems were
written by Arthur Norman and Alan Mycroft.
