[Wine] Running Turbo C

[Geoff Streeter]

I suggest you check how compliant Turbo C is with the standards. The first 
C standard was ISO 9899:1990 and is normally described as ANSI C. Turbo C 
from the period you are talking about may be reasonably compliant with 
that. The second C standard is ISO 9899:1999 and I think this is the 
current standard. Most C compilers now comply with that (with the notable 
exception of Microsoft which does not comply in a number of annoying 
things, mostly to do with include files and external library definitions).

A gcc based solution would comply although it is sometimes pedantically 
compliant.

eg
         #if     0
                 don't do this.
         #endif//0
objects to the unclosed quoted string.

extern void foo(void);

...

static void foo(void)
         {
         ...
         }

objects to the change from extern to static. Still objects if the first 
line doesn't contain "extern".
