The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft C compiler for MS-DOS, version 5.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft no longer provides the Microsoft C version 5.1 run-time
libraries. In the past, Microsoft provided these libraries to
programmers who needed them for writing Windows 2.0 applications.

Microsoft also provided these libraries to "Clipper" users. (Clipper
is a database package sold by Computer Associates). With the run-time
libraries from Microsoft C version 5.1 and an older version of the
Microsoft C compiler (5.1 or 6.0), developers could link C code with
the Clipper programs. An undocumented /Gh compiler option was used
when compiling with C version 6.0 and linking with the C 5.1
libraries.

The C 5.1 libraries have been discontinued. If you are using a
development package that requires the use of the Microsoft C 5.1
libraries, please contact the vendor of the product to inquire about
updated versions that can be used with the current version of the
Microsoft C/C++ compiler.
