VAX-C or DEC-C? In my experience I have been dealing with a number of different platforms (and 32-bit to 64-bit and big-endian to little-endian) for years. I always recommend trying to code to the standards, but there are cases where it is not possible. FORTRAN :-) VAX I think, but it was ten years ago, so I can't remember for sure.
