- I think that you didn't understand at all about what I am speaking (no
- offense; my problem :-) I want unified (==identical) and compatible
- header files for TOS functions and structures, and I want them with
- standardized filenames in standardized locations. I wasn't speaking
- of TOS/MiNT differences or stdio considerations at all.

- When using Pure, I have:
-
- #include <tos.h>
-
- DTA *dta = Fgetdta ();
-
-
- With the MiNT include files, I have:
-
-
- #include <osbind.h>
-
- _DTA *dta = Fgetdta ();
-
-
- And so on. Yes, I can resolve all that with conditional includes and
- defines, but I really hate that. That's why I propose to make a fresh
- start (of course you can continue to use the old header files with
- old sources).
-
- Note that operating system bindings should be identical, no matter
- which compiler you use.
