    Yes. If you are careful and if the unix code is portable in the first
place. If the unix code relies heavily on POSIX then a lot of rewriting
will be needed. As to K&R style unix C legacy code, you will have to
ask Jasen or Neil because I can't actually remember using MSVC with
anything but ANSI C.

Best Wishes,
Bill.
