Translator and ANSI C

Hey, Rob.

I thought that C was an ANSI standard.  So I don't understand why 7 different
compilers require so much support.  I mean I can understand that different
compilers have different command-line options but why are the .c files different
and why do the runtime libraries have to be different?

When trying to compile some translated C files with an unsupported compiler, I
did get an error that the compiler couldn't cast an int * to an int **
implicitly.  If this is an error with one compiler, why is it not an error with
another?
