OH BOY! If only that were true. I'm porting a VERRRRY large
application from Unix to MSDOS (about 500,000 lines of C code). I have
five (5) C compilers on my system at the moment, and NO TWO of them
can agree on the code. I am using GCC ebcause I have the least
problems with it.

K&R may have imagined all C compilers to be equal, but it didn't
materalise.
