Summary:

There is a minor error in the Microsoft C version 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax

online help for the functions inp(), inpw(), outp(), and outpw(). The

help states that a .DEF is required to use these functions, but this

is required only under OS/2.

The first sentence in the third paragraph in the description of these

functions states:

You must use a .DEF file to declare the IOSEG segment that the

run-time library uses to perform input/output on the port.

This line should read:

To use inp(), inpw(), outp(), and outpw() in OS/2 protect mode, you

must use a .DEF file to declare the IOSEG segment that the run-time

library uses to perform input/output on the port.
