The DEC VMS C compiler does the correct (according to K&R) thing (i.e., treats
it as integer = integer * float).  Apparently the implementors read the book,
rather than the portable C compiler.  Are there a lot of differences between
K&R and pcc?  Have these caused problems in Unix ports when a new compiler was
written?
