Hallo, Darin!

This is false. Thunking by use of macros is still required. There are a lot
of predefined calls to 16-bit-libraries in emxwrap.dll etc., but if you
want to call e.g. the 16-bit-semaphore API like I had to to access
/sem/squish/default, you are still left to do it yourself.

0.9b introduced both pascal and C calling style, but there was no other change.


Tschau...Thomas
