My mistake. I erroneously was in the context of an implementation
just utilizing off the shelf RTL stuff from the typical OS (UNI*,
Windoze, etc.) You are of course correct that there would be nothing
"special" here if it was just out of the box with the implementation.
Sorry.

And given your other work (that I do know something of), I am sure it
was exceptionally good stuff! Actually, I had heard something about
your work there somewhere, but I can't recall when, where, the
context, etc... I guess I'm getting old... :-|
