Surprisingly, Mark Williams C 2.0 already has a lot of ANSI C in it.
But the naughties, they #define __STDC__ but do *not* implement all of
ANSI C, so that programs that I have that compile differently
depending on the absence or presence of __STDC__ don't work. It would
have been better not to have defined __STDC__ until everything was
implemented.

I don't know about MWC version 3, because it has taken me nearly a
year to get it, and it *still* hasn't arrived.

Why is the Dutch distribution of MWC so bad? The Dutch distributors
that I was using (Compudress) blame Mark Williams, but I've had such
bad experiences with them on other matters, that it's difficult to
tell whether they're telling the truth.
