Page 136 of the "Microsoft C 5.10 Run-Time Library Reference" manual
incorrectly documents the return values for _bios_equiplist. In the
list of return values, it states that bit 13 is as follows:
True (1) if and only if a serial printer is installed.
This is only true if you have an IBM PCjr. On PC XT type machines,
this value reports regardless of whether or not you have an internal
modem installed.
As a result, for PC XT machines, this line should read as follows:
True (1) if and only if an internal modem is installed.
This error also exists in the QuickC Versions 1.00 and 1.01 run-time
library reference manuals and in the QuickC Version 2.00 on-line help.
