I don't know the origins of the Multics C compiler; we don't have the

I don't know my earlier C compiler history, but I;m guessing 'Portable C
Compiler"
I don't believe that TSS has a C subsystem.

That would almost be enough for me from the sounds of things. Too bad
there are issues. I don?t suppose there is Waterloo C? That was a painful
way to try to learn C programming. :-) Definitely not K&R.
