Two questions:
  1) Has anybody had any experience with Generic Lint, by Gimpel
Software?  It is a set of sources for Lint (with nullified identifiers)
which can conceivably be compiled and run on any machine (including IBM
mainframes).  I believe it is the result of a phone conversation I had
with Mr. Gimpel (and perhaps others spoke with him) asking if he had any
way of selling the source so we could port it to VM/CMS.  However, I am
having some trouble convincing the powers that be that it is worthwhile,
especially since IBM will be changing its C compiler come June.  Has
anyone compiled it for IBM mainframes yet?  Is it possible to make local
extensions to permissible style and syntax?
  2) I have seen much reference to dpANS C.  How can I get a copy?
