If it's still on the Net, the BCC compiler used with ELKS had an
converter.  I never used it, I don't know how well it works, or how
happy the MW C compiler would be with its output.

Other than that, all I can say is "chop the source into smaller
files"!

Well, you need the MW C Compiler and the LII development system.
You can grab c.comp from Gene's web site but you didn't hear that from
me! ;-)

My modest contribution:

That should bring you up to the Ultimate OS-9 C compiler.
