Look, mate. C isn't portable, because Brian Kernighan is an honest man,
and he says in a book published this year that Rob Pike's code is C. But
when I put this into the .Net development environment's C++ compiler,
char * becomes sbyte and has to be converted byte by byte to work with a
test harness that uses the String. C is PART of C++, so you are wrong in
your claims that C is portable.

Please repeat that statement in c.l.c and come back here after your
wounds have healed.

Why would you wish that on them? I attempted to short-circuit making
them all cringe over this specious claim.
