The QuickC Version 2.00 sample programs GRDEMO.C and TURTLE.C produce
internal compiler errors when compiled under the Microsoft C
Optimizing Compiler Version 5.10. Several particularly complex
expressions cause the problem, some of which are due to macro
expansions from the QuickC 2.00 GRAPH.H include file. Using
temporary variables in these expressions eliminates the errors. The
following error message is displayed:

   grdemo.c(291) : fatal error C1001: Internal Compiler Error
             (compiler file '@(#)grammar.c:1.29', line 108)

The GRDEMO.C and TURTLE.C programs were developed for QuickC 2.00 and
as such are not guaranteed to compile with the C 5.10 optimizing
compiler. C 5.10 compiles its own demonstration programs without
difficulty.
