I recently unloaded Sozobon C sources from the net. I'm trying
to get them to work as cross compilers in a couple of environments.
1) Turbo C on an AT
2) gcc 1.26 on a vax and Sun 3.xx 3.5OS
I had to make a few changes to the NODE structure definition on the
Turbo C version and vax version to produce correct code. Presumably
this was some hidden byte order problem. The Sun version seemed to
work right away. I'm left with the following problems:
1) No version will self compile without errors: The message
is usually "Weird ......."
2) The PC version hangs forever in the routine "gunk1" and gunk,
seemingly cycling through the same attempts. Replacing this
with a return makes it work most of the time.
There were a few gotchas  : gcc did not like the "inline"
function. I just renamed it to INLINE.
