This signature is used by Microsoft C v 6.0 startup code to determine stack
overflows and does not indicate any copyright since the startup code itself
comes in source with each copy of MS C. IBM still widely uses MS compilers
where 16-bit code is needed, or a "bound" (DOS+OS/2) program is to be created.
The funniest thing is that different versions of MS C are used for different
parts of OS/2, you can easily find 1987 (MS C v 5.0) and 1988 (MS C v 5.1)
signatures as well.
Bye.
