|The C compiler from MicroSoft (Xenix) IS the MSC 4.0/5.0 compiler avaliable

|The Xenix compiler blows the pants off the pcc from AT&T, I just wish it did
|COFF :-)

None of the compilers up to thru 2.1.3 do that on my machine! They just
say "unknown option: help" and terminate. You must have either a newer
version or perhaps the IBM version. I would go to 2.2, but I can't run
TCP/IP on it yet, and need that more than the update.
