Interesting, If I write a new function, put it in a library for my use,
it's C, but if a programmer working for a compiler publisher writes a
function puts it in a library for the use of programmers who purchase
the compiler, it's not C. Am I missing something, or is this actually
as ridiculus as it sounds.
Of course it is C, it is just not ANSI/ISO C, and as such you are quite
correct in stating that it is off topic.

No, if he knew the answer and wanted to impart it he should, by e:mail.
The only thing he did wrong was to waste comp.lang.c bandwidth with an
off-topic answer. We do not want to discourage people from answering
questions, we do however want to keep off-topic material off comp.lang.c
comp.lang.c is for discussion of the part of the C programming language
defined by ANSI/ISO. System/platform specific issues do not belong here,
as the readership probably doesn't use whatever platform you think they
do.
You got that almost right.
