Problem:
   Various users have reported that after installing the Microsoft
XENIX FORTRAN/Pascal compilers, if they installed new versions of the
C compiler libraries (for example, one user installed the newer
version of the IBM Xenix Maintenance kit, while other users encountered
this after installing a new version of Microsoft C), they begin
receiving unresolved externals. (The most often reported unresolved
external was __acrtused.) 

Response:
   The current version of the Microsoft XENIX Software Development
System (i.e., new libraries) will contain an updated copy of the C
libraries which should work correctly with the compilers. We will be
testing this against the code that we have received from users to
verify that the new libraries do correct these unresolved externals. A
copy of these new libraries will be sent out to all licensed XENIX
users.
