I am in the process of moving a lot of C source from Microsoft 5.0/5.1 to Xenix. The result will still run on dos, but we are moving the development effort. Apparently, my brand-new, twice as much $ compiler from SCO does not yet support: - formal parameter data types declared inside the function declaration - malloc as a void * - interrupt attribute when compiling with the -dos flag (Tends to make some of the prototypes under /usr/include/dos somewhat worthless...) - The -C (ignore case) flag does not seem to do anything under dosld (a problem when bringing in purchased DOS libraries converted to .a's) I admit that most of these are either no big deal, or easy to work around. My question is: when is SCO expected to have a more up-to-date ANSI compiler? What is the agreement between SCO and Microsoft? Anyone from out there in west-coast-land care to comment? -- Bill Mahoney bill@zycor.UUCP Warning: Driver breaks for 2400 baud.
