Except that Unix compilers (4BSD, anyway) don't have ANSI function
prototyping, get confused when I want to twiddle menus and/or windows, and
requires that I run a seperate program (with the obscure name of "lint") to
catch type clashes, unitialized variables and other such errors.

We won't even mention the cost of a Unix system versus the cost of a PC.
