I don't want to be too picky either, but should I be expected to read the
MSC users guide (which didn't come with my Xenix, by the way) to find out
about features which MSC C compiler supports, and which they decided to 
also implement in their Xenix C compiler, but not document??

Give me a break!  I'm talking about Xenix here, remember, cc -a -b -c, 
not MSC /A /B /C or CL /A /B /C.
