Subject: 971114: misc notes
- long time ago, when the MiNT kernel was adding UNIX support
to TOS (on the Atari ST) they introduced /dev/a/ as a
synonym for a:\ - this really worked fine.
IMHO it is much better than those //A/ or \\A\ suggestions.
- mktime() still doesn't handle daylight saving gaps.
See gnu/filutil3.16/lib/mktime.c what GNU thinks about this problem.
- disable/enable still call the DPMI functions, which are more
broken than the cli/sti emulation
- sopen should be made a function (beacuse of variable arguments)
and documented
- _fsopen is not implemented
- the _system_* flags are both in <stdlib.h> and <sys/system.h>
- for compatibility with Microsoft C and Watcom C I suggest
adding <sys/utime.h>
