I'm not sure about CW, but my experience with GCC may be useful anyway.
I've found that, in that case, at least several ANSI standard functions
could be used, but they increase code size since apparently they're in a
library that implements them in terms of equivalent PalmOS calls. It's
better to use the direct calls in that case, unless you need it to be
platform-independent.
It's the same idea behind the Berkeley socket call wrapper around the Palm
OS NetLib calls (something I use because of ORA's recommendation... you
can write and debug the network code on another platform and then easily
port it to the Palm that way).
