For those poor sufferers who have to develop under other systems,
there are many implementations of lint and make under MS-DOS: some
were listed here a short time ago.  I believe DEC has them under
its VNX tools for VMS, too -- although if you are an all-DEC shop ...
get Ultrix instead!  Much better.
