I'm about to port a large software package written in TC to MSC6.0.  The
package was designed with an eventual port to MSC in mind and so is reasonably
clean.  But before I begin I was wondering if anyone has generated a
differences list for the two compilers ( or even a list of gotchas, hints &
kinks, and that sort of thing)?

There are two main areas of concern as I see it:

    1) The build environment (probably massively disjoint).
    2) The vendor-specific language semantics.
    
If none exists and people want to send me their "favorite" diffs I'll be
pleased to role 'em up and repost them.

regards,

/mtp
