- Which is irrelevant here. The PC world does not define what is or is not the
- C language - an international standard document (ISO/IEC 9899-1990) does that.
- The C community covers much more than the PC world (I assume you mean DOS/
- Windows) and neither Borland's nor Microsoft's implementations are remotely
- de-facto standards.

- Unfortunately there are other platform and compiler specific posts here.
- However in many if not most cases a more appropriate newsgroup is suggested.

-
- If you really want the answer to this then post to an appropriate newsgroup.
- There is simply no meaningful answer to this within the C language.
