It is written in WSL, a machine independent systems development language and is nearly compatible with Unix C. The differences are in the types of some of the I/O library routines, but this is always a difficult area in portable C programs. I have ported Unix C programs to VM/CMS using Waterloo C and they have compiled, but the I/O routines needed changing. Also the math library works in double precision always.
