The new "expl c messages" explains the various classes of diagnostic messages produced by the NSC compiler.
The +18BitShorts option now affects "scanf" and related functions. If the option is in effect, arguments corresponding to placeholders like "%hd" should be pointers to 18-bit short integers.
Under TP8, opening a sysout file code (e.g. P*), will no longer result in the data being written directly to sysout. Instead, the data will be passed to TP8 display/sysout processing so that it may be directed according to the sysout controls specified in the workstation database. Due to restrictions in TP8, TP8 sysout files default to print image BCD (media 3) instead of print image ASCII (media 7).
Output to stderr, (error messages, tracebacks etc.) are now written to sysout code code P*. Previously "stderr" was directed to the terminal (source LID) like "stdout".
