I do wish I had kept all my old Microsoft C compiler manuals.
Microsoft do a very poor job of documenting the extensions they
support (which has changed over time).  This may be intentional
as a way of limiting use of those features (apparently when
British rial want to kill off a service they first remove all
details of it from the time tables; passenger numbers then drop
and they can kill the service off on the basis of low passenger
numbers travelling that route).

Does anybody here have any old (ie, versions 1-5) Microsoft C
compiler manuals?
