UNIX code used, common port PS, Win and OS/2 maybe no best choice,
OS/2 with EMX is in this time much better for porting Unix applications.
PC code variablles #ifdef _OS_NT, __os2__ or OS2_NT not used.
Build with emx 0.9c.
New variables: OS2EMX code specific for this port
OS2EMX_CHG maybe bugs or additions to MC code
ALTERNATIVE_CONSOLE runtime choice unix, X or OS specific
console
LOCAL_DRIVES system has local drives
chgdrive: "x:" or "cd x:"
HETER_NET heterogenous network ( no pure unix ),
drives on remote host etc.
path example: "/#mc:host/c:/home/work"
rem.chgdrive: "cd /#mc:host/d:"
OS_INFO local system identification string "OS/2"
