I think that you didn't understand at all about what I am speaking (no
offense; my problem :-) I want unified (==identical) and compatible 
header files for TOS functions and structures, and I want them with
standardized filenames in standardized locations. I wasn't speaking
of TOS/MiNT differences or stdio considerations at all.

When using Pure, I have:

#include <tos.h>

DTA *dta = Fgetdta ();


With the MiNT include files, I have:


#include <osbind.h>

_DTA *dta = Fgetdta ();


And so on. Yes, I can resolve all that with conditional includes and
defines, but I really hate that. That's why I propose to make a fresh
start (of course you can continue to use the old header files with
old sources).

Note that operating system bindings should be identical, no matter 
which compiler you use.
