Programming in ANSI is the best way to get portability. I agree with Otto. Invent the wheel over and over is a waste that could be put to some good use. The only place that i believe that invent the wheel is good is when you are learning. After that point, using ANSI functions, is the best way to program correctly, securely and portable.
