That is your Unix tunnel vision talking, not common sense.  Having
programmed a Mac with a Unix-like development environment (Mac C), all I can
say is that I thought it was wonderful until I met up with LightSpeed C.
What works for Unix may NOT work for other machines (surprise, surprise).
All I can say is one of these days I plan on writing LSC for my Sun -- I
only with I had as good a development environment on my Unix machine as I
did on my mac.

	For, quarrelling, each to his view they claim,
	Such folk see only one side of a thing.
