So what?  I will not try to copy Dan Pop's style, but you might benefit 
from reading some of his posts.   Your business application is not in 
itself C.  If someone using your application were to post questions here 
about how to use it, based on the completely silly idea that because it 
is written in C it _is_ C, he would obviously be in the wrong place.

Besides the obvious that BCC also compiles things written in C++, a 
language that is not C, you suffer from a confusion which, honestly, I 
can't imagine any intelligent person having.  Things written in C are 
not C.  There is a vast array of programming languages, editors, among 
many other things, that are written in C and are not C.
Someone who has problems writing C code in implementing a BASIC 
interpreter may have C questions.  Someone having problems writing a 
program for that BASIC does _not_ have a C question.

See what?  That you are hopelessly confused?

No, it's not C at all.  Get a clue.
