A short comment... C++ compilers have a better typechecking than most
C compilers, but both Lattice C and SAS/C _does_ check for
uninitalised variables and unreachable code!

Also SAS/C has the best (most user-friendly) programming environment I
have ever seen on any machine I have worked with, which should make it
easier for the beginner to use the compiler.
