My understanding of our windows emulation (PEACE) is that we have DLLs
that reimplement the standard runtime environment using our syscalls. =20
These DLLs are implemented using standard C, using standard libs. So we
end up with a libc.dll and so on. I believe these system calls are for
those compat dlls.

Take care,
