There are so many pieces of code that even work under Windows, but don't work under OS-9. Only in more recent versions of OS-9 has Microware added more C runtime library functions to make a UNIX programmer's like more comfortable. I spent 6 months last year working on a project that used OS-9 on the embedded part of the system and NT on laptops connected by PPP.
