You must be joking!

The answer is an unqualfied yes.  Portability of programs is a MAJOR MAJOR
problem.  That's why great gobs of people drag themselves off to strange
places (like Valley Forge, PA) every few months for several years to try
to hammer out language standards.

Sadly, even when _that_ work is done, there are yet more road blocks on
the way to software portability.  Some of these involve even bigger battles
(e.g. in the marketplace) like the battle between those who believe in the
idea of standard operating systems and those who would rather lock you
into their own proprietary operating systems.

C++ is not a superset of C.

Therefore do not expect C code to compile with a C++ compiler.

  I was talking yesterday with a friend and he told me that he had some
troubles using C code from one compiler to another (for example: Microsoft
C 6.00 With Borland C++).

  So, i would like to know if anybody have had troubles of this kind,
because i made this change myself and it worked.

  Thanks.
