You're in my world now. stdout etc are not
fixed constants in PDPCLIB.

PDOS/386 supports non-trivial C90-derived binaries.
If it doesn't support non-trivial Pascal90-derived
binaries, that would be an interesting result I
would like to see.

I'd like to know the difference between these
2 languages. One works as per my expectations,
and the other allegedly has some technical
barrier I do not yet understand.
