Is IBM sitting on an ANSI C library/dll? There are heaps of DLLs and crud
in my \os2\dlls directory, and no C library. :-(
Perhaps IBM could let OS/2 be more like other operating systems (UNIX!!)
that include a standard set of libraries etc. ANSI C would
be pretty basic. At least it would help cut a weency bit of code out
of programs, since so many will call standard C functions anyway. It would
also standardise things a bit more too. I bet NT (boo hiss) will have one!
