What do you mean "set up"? The reason RSCEXT is
#defined is so that it can be changed depending on the
system. On DOS, ",v" is unacceptable. Anyone who
#defines it will get a coredump. I got a coredump on
my system. Code that coredumps when you change
system is not portable code. Code that relies on filenames
being able to support ",v" is not portable code.
