Yeah, it's called the "BD Software C Compiler".  There are many versions
of it.  Somehow it ends up on everyone's diskettes even though they don't
know where it came from.

Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio, replied: "You see, wire
telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.  You pull his tail in New
York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.  Do you understand this?
And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they
receive them there.  The only difference is that there is no cat."
