p.s. what is "MSL?"
MSL is "Metrowerks Standard Library". Prior to Mac OS X, MSL was a
library provided by Metrowerks which implemented many of the standard
POSIX function calls for things like I/O and file handling and such
(think fopen, printf, etc...).
With the advent of Mac OS X, the POSIX calls can be called directly
from Mach-O which means there is not much call for MSL these days.
However, due to the need to support "classic" Mac OS 9 development,
some differences in the routines provided Metrowerks still provides
MSL. They did a LOT of work a couple of years ago to create a version
of MSL that implements the calls for Mac OS 9 and calls through to
System.framework where appropriate for applications that run on Mac OS
9 and Mac OS X.
