I've ported Rich's code to the Microsoft C compiler (version 5.0), with
very little problems.  I needed a copy of the directory handling routines
(I grabbed the ones that pdtar used for MSDOS, other versions are available
from Doug Gwyn), but otherwise the ANSI/SysV routines in MSC seemed to
do the trick.

If anyone is interested in getting a copy of this, I can e-mail the
package to them.
