Right.

More to the point, we should revise the stuff in e_os.h and e_os2.h
and decide what we want to expose and what we do not want to expose
and modify them accordingly. A rename of some sort would probably be
a good point as well (e_os.h and e_os_p.h?), but not such a big isssue.

If we use MSDOS or VMS (and others, perhaps MS_STATIC?) in the rest of
the exported headers (VMS is definitely used!), then the exported
headers should define them if not already defined. This is a matter
of consequence if nothing else.
moeller> BTW, even e_os.h tests for MSDOS before it defines it. So

e_os.h makes sure not to destroy a value that MSDOS may already have.
That's cautious, and therefore good.

For the top Makefile, I agree, but first of all, we need to expose a
little more of the macro magic. Sorry, but that's the hard reality of
it. Macros that are not exposed in any of the exported headers need
to be exposed, anything else is stupid.
