	The easiest and most productive solution is get a copy of gcc--gcc
is totally ANSI compliant and compiles old-style C as well.  FSF is boycotting
Apple so I'm not sure about A/UX (But there was emacs so it may be available)
but for both Sparc and VAX, gcc is available.
	In my class assignments, we all use Ansi C thus gcc is the only
compiler.  None of my class account would compile on local cc.
	And gcc is better when compiling Xwindow application--it drove Apollo
Domain's cc nuts--<X11/*.h> is usually written in Ansi style (or so my cpp
said--maybe #ifdefs have some problems but that's rather old cc's fault).
