In many articles many people ask about Turbo C, Microsoft C, and other
IBM PC / MS-DOS compilers.  Unfortunately, they all ask on comp.lang.c
(or whatever its name might be on the remote side of various gateways)
instead of in a newsgroup about IBM PCs.

Can we keep questions about specific implementations in implementation
specific newsgroups, please?  (Obviously the answer is `no' :-) )  For
instance, no one should be asking about the openlog() routine on
comp.lang.c, because that is a 4.[23]BSD C library routine.  The
important part is `4BSD', not `C library'.  The same goes for `IBM PC C
compiler': the important part is first `IBM PC', and only *then* `C
compiler'.
