 Once upon a time the only thing that was standard about standard libraries
                 
 was there name.  You mean the ISO standard, I presume.  Not EVERY standard
 standard (not a typo) library will have them.

 Most compiler/libraries actually use a macro to change remove to unlink.
 Unlink is PROBABLY the most common (as a function).  Anyway for the sake
 of portability, I would suggest that the use of unlink is better, and to 
 create a macro to turn it into remove when unlink does not exist.  Anyway
 that is what I do.  It is of course possible to do it the other way around
 and always use remove and macro it to unlink when remove does not exist.

 Due to my 'vintage', I prefer the former.

 Count.
