I have not used the Lattice C compiler, but the Microsoft version 3.00 is
very good.  I've had it crash ignobly three times, but was able to get
around the problem by rearranging the code.  The subroutine library is
remarkably complete and vax-unix-like.  It does not have huge memory model
support, i.e. arrays are < 64K.  Int's are 16 bit, so malloc max is 64K,
too.

	It is not necessary for the programmer to remember at link time
the memory model used at compile time!
