Ok, so what should those with C compilers on the QM/C (18 bit words,
word addressable) or the C/70 (20 bit words, two 10-bit address units
per word) do, hmmm? And yes, there are C compilers for those two
machines.

Not only is all the world not a VAX, it all isn't even addressable in
eight-bit units!
