Use a *real* editor like Brief, Epsilon, or Jove, and the command-line
compiler (either MS C's cl or Turbo's tcc).  Any of these editors
can run the compiler inside the editor, and then parse the error
messages, positioning your cursor at each.  *Much* nicer than the
lousy editors in QuickC and Turbo's environment.
