Yes, I seem I remember that it was /Za.  It wasn't very usefull,
because you can only write pure ISO-C programs with that, no Windows
API, no networking, no nothing, only <stdio.h> and friends.

But WINNT and WIN32 are not used in the ISO-C standard headers (at
least not in my copy of VC++ 5.0 here).  You can't expect a
"strict-ansi" mode from Windows OS headers, they rely on VC++
extensions anyway.
