- I have found a "version" of BSC on TYBALT. Thanks to all who pointed me
- in that direction.
-
- Obviously, my usage of the term "version" was not crystal clear. :-P The term
- "version", as used in my original post, was referring to code which was
- targeted for a particular operating system.
-
- Where the C program meets the operating system is where the fun begins. I
- believe the term programmers use is "port", changing a C program into a C
- program. On VAX/VMS systems, the file creation/open calls have an extra
- argument(s). That extra argument will change the performance of your
- program DRASTICALLY (the wrong way).
-
- C is C. (Unless it's BDS C, Small C, VAX C, DECUS C, GNU C, Microsoft C,
- Borland C, MANX C, Portable C, ANSI C, ORCA C, APW C, Whitesmith C, etc. :->
