Here's what I get for output:

/* BEGIN output from new.c */
    NOT!!!
/* END output from new.c */

And here's the program:

/* BEGIN new.c */

#include <stdio.h>

int 
main(void)
{
    long x = -1; 
    unsigned char y = -1; 

    puts("\n/* BEGIN output from new.c */");
    if (x == y) {
        puts("EQUAL");
    } else {
        puts("    NOT!!!");
    }
    puts("/* END output from new.c */");
    return 0;
}

/* END new.c */
