tosh (<B>tif_apple.c</B>),
and VMS (<B>tif_vms.c</B>)
code has had the most use;
the MS/DOS support (<B>tif_msdos.c</B>) assumes
some level of UNIX system call emulation (i.e.
<TT>open</TT>,
<TT>read</TT>,
<TT>write</TT>,
<TT>fstat</TT>,
<TT>malloc</TT>,
<TT>free</TT>).

<P>
Native CPU byte order is determined on the fly by
the library and does not need to be specified.
The <TT>HOST_FILLORDER</TT> and <TT>HOST_BIGENDIAN</TT>
definitions are not currently used, but may be employed by
codecs for optimization
