This man is clearly one of the most astute and wisest contributors to
this group :-).  He makes a very good point, which I forgot.  We develop
on UNIX and port to VMS -- so we get to do all our lint checking before
we go into alien environemnts.  The great merit of Lint (versus thorough
compiler diagnostics) is that it cross checks function argument and return
value types.
