The program won't build on other taegets as there's no _curunit. So, just because we have to put one simple statement in an ifdef completely removes any cross-target attribute from the code? I see. Thinking this way, it gets obvious that cross-target programs on Unixoids are extremely rare. Come on. > 2. The other targets likely don't have tape drives to be accessed via open(). The point is: I can have the same code to access floppy drives on all (?) platforms CC65 supports, on all devices that it supports. The small setup that is platform-specific does not count for me here. BTW, the setup could be hidden in a chdir() function, making it cross-platform again. > > If this is not the case, it will not be possible to open some files > > written some 20 years ago. > > Something I personally could live well with.

Do I have to google for your name in order to find out about your background?
