	Sys$Library:  STDIO.H contains the line:

		typedef struct _iobuf*	FILE;

	I can't find mention of this post-fixed usage of the asterisk.  Is
	this equivalent to

		typedef struct *_iobuf	FILE;

	?  What's happening here?

Your eyes are playing tricks on you.  Try changing the spacing on the first
line:

		typedef struct _iobuf	*FILE;

Clearer now?
