I also noticed that C compilers on PCs are frequently better than UNIX issue.
Little things like printing a bit of context with your errors, like:

 	  cahr stuff;
Line EEE:    ^    ^    Illegal declaration or obsolete initialization

instead of telling you `invalid initialization on line 563'.

Coming back to minicomputers is like going back to the Stone Age - big, fast,
powerful monsters, but not quite as intelligent as their smaller successors.
