Yes
The major advantage of Aztec (Manx) C was to be able to run essentially
the same compiler on multiple microcomputer platforms. That was
especially useful, since before "ANSI C", there were lots of "minor"
variations from one K&R C to another. For example, does puts() send a
newline? Is a char signed or unsigned? What do you get when you >>
(right shift) a 2's complement negative number? I AM NOT asking what
"should be", I'm talking about comparing what compiler authors thought.
