- Which is by far the biggest problem with the Power C package: it's not C. It
- has trouble with many common C constructs, such as typedef'd structs and
- mutually referential structures. To the original poster: if you want to learn
- C, do it on a mainframe if possible, or at the very least a PC or Mac; ie.
- something that actually compiles C and not simply a common subset of the
- language.
