Notes on "C Reference"
----------------------

   Page    Note
   ----    ----

   5       CL (Compiler) /Bx Options
           -------------------------

           The complete syntax of the /B1, /B2, and /B3 options is as
           follows:

              /B1 [drive:path]C1L
              /B2 [drive:path]C2L
              /B3 [drive:path]C3L

           See online help for further information.

   7       CL (Compiler) /ML Option
           ------------------------

           The third sentence should read: "The /ML option is
           functionally equivalent to /ALw /FPa /G2 /D_MT; however,
           you must specify /ML rather than the expanded equivalent."

   8       CL (Compiler) /MT Option
           ------------------------

           The second sentence should read: "The /MT option is
           functionally equivalent to /ALw /FPi /G2 /D_MT; however,
           you must specify /MT rather than the expanded equivalent."

   34      NAME Statement
           --------------

           The syntax for the NAME statement in a LINK module-
           definition file is as follows:

              NAME [appname] [apptype] [NEWFILES]

           The optional attribute NEWFILES specifies that the
           application supports long filenames and extended file
           attributes under OS/2 1.2.

           The linker also supports LONGNAMES as a synonym for
           NEWFILES, although LONGNAMES is now considered obsolete.

   347     The _strtold Function
           ---------------------

           The _strtold function is not an ANSI function.
