Perhaps it is time for the user community to define and write some assembler language subroutines to interface bewteen C programs and the VM/CMS environment. Much like that FORTRAN library that used to be offered by IBM.
I don't have a C compiler that can be used to test such subroutines/functions with (except maybe GCC) but I used to enjoy writting those types of routines when I use to run FORTRAN programs to model the earth's weather. Those programs ran a lot better under VM/CMS than under MVS. /Tom Kern --- Alan Altmark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Monday, 11/27/2006 at 12:31 PST, Dave Wade <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Looking through the IBM C manuals I can find, it > > seems amazing to me that the only way to access the > > above devices is via OS emulation.
