I can heartily recommend the Microsoft C Compiler V3.0.  (This is NOT the
Lattice C compiler sold under Microsoft's name.)  I have found only one
bug so far, and that is a pretty trivial one --- if I neglect to give
the extension on the file name when using the CL command, it doesn't seem
to figure out that there is no file by that name, but it goes ahead and
tries to do a link anyway.  We are using it to port a medium sized application
written in VAX C to an AT; the only problems we have had with the port are
bad programming practices in our code.  I will be posting a list of
suggestions for ways to avoid trouble doing this port in the next few
days to net.micro.pc.
