One was documented by A New Input-Output Package (Ritchie), and was made available through the -lS loader option. The other, older one was made available whenever a C program was being compiled; it was characterized, among other things, by use of the names fin and fout to control disposition of standard input and output files. The older library has now vanished, along with the -lS option. All programs will receive the new I/O library without any explicit action. In addition, the libraries obtained by -lc and -la have been merged; this combined library is accessed (where needed) by -lc or -l." Andrew R.
