[Coco] Converting ANSI-C to K&R(Microware) - Ansifront didn't work

Arrgh... posted on the wrong thread.

Search for ansi2knr for one possibility. This one runs on Linux and 
allegedly has been ported to other platforms as well.

Subject: [Coco] Converting ANSI-C to K&R(Microware) - Ansifront didn't work

I'm still hell-bent on getting a screen editor that works over serial/telnet 
on my coco, and vi-like would be the best. I have PVIC that compiles for the 
coco but the binary is too big to fit in memory and run (The binary is 77k)

I thought about using Busybox's built-in VI.  Turns out someone already 
pulled it out as a standalone: http://freshmeat.net/projects/virus  This 
compiles and runs fine on my Mac but it's ANSI-C so need to translate it to 
compile on the Coco.  I tried with Ansifront and the program is so big it 
blew Ansifront's mind and ran out of stack space and memory.  Is there 
another way to convert ANSI C to K&R C automatically?  My searching on the 
interwebs found no hits-- all the hits were K&R to ANSI.  I don't care what 
OS it runs on (Linux/Windows/Mac/Nitros9)   Also the ansifront instructions 
say to run "c.prep" first, which leads into my second question....

The ansifront documentation mentions "Version 2.5 of CC" and I do see this 
on RTSI.  I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some pointers on how to 
cobble together the most recent C environment that runs on Nitros9, which 
libraries and Cprep to get to go along with this...
