[net.micro.pc] UN*X-like C software

jcw@cvl.UUCP (06/30/83)

A while back there was discussion about a roff-like system for the
PC.  Anyone else have any C software (library routines and/or 
programs) that you would like to share with the world?  I am starting
to write UN*X-like support (system calls, etc.) to work under DOS 2.0
and I don't want to re-invent the wheel.  I am willing to give out
what I come up with.

By the way, those people who own the Computer Innovations C compiler
(a very good product) and are anxiously awaiting the release of the
long-promised new version (optimizer, DOS 2.0 support, and more)
don't hold your breath.  A month ago I called them and they said 6
weeks; two weeks ago they still said 6 weeks, so I asked if it was a
floating deadline and the person replied "yes".  When it comes out
it ought to be good.
