Yes, there's a good one free from PARC for us lowly C programmers.

Uhm.  How does Hungarian keep arrays and pointers clear?

	void foo(void) {
		int aryFoo[10];
		bar(aryFoo);
	}

	void bar(int aryParam[10]) {
		return;
	}

is clearly wrong, as the parameter of bar is a pointer, not an array;
yet, if you correctly note it as int *piParam, or whatever, you will have
what looks, in the notation, to be a conflict of types, although there
isn't one.
