on what do you base that claim?

It was a word I made up to describe an environment where most but not all
of the popular posix system calls are implemented and do something useful.

  I would include MS-dos since (version 2 or 3) and things like Amigados,
  Tos. etc. and everything that's posix too,  (*nix. NT etc.)

there is now :)

In favour of what ?

 CA>>> Note: No listing of new C programs are posted here _ever_. ;-)

 JB>> do you mean source or announcements ? (I've seen both)

before making that claim I checked.

 CA> Again, you're probably thinking of the ASM echo or DRDEGUG?

there's an ASM echo? (I see 80XXX but not much traffic)
DRDEBUG has also been quieter than here.
