[net.micro] Small C <-> Unix C compatability?

gnu (01/18/83)

The original Small-C was written to be compatible with Unix C, in that
you could take any Small-C program and compile and run it on Unix without
changes.  The new Small C 2.0 doesn't seem to be that way, however;
I had various kinds of trouble trying to compile it, like no "quotes"
on the include file names.

Before we "stndardize on Small C" as a language for el cheapo 68K
development, let's standardize small-C itself as a compatible subset
of Unix C as defined by "The C Programming Language".

Everybody who tried to use Small C must have run into this; did anyone
actually make the changes, get it running, get it to compile itself,
and successfully port from your Unix system to an 8080?  If so, can
you post diffs or a new compiler to net.sources?
