In that case it is unlikely that any programs developed in it will meet the
GEM-list standard. Most other libraries try to make it as easy as possible for
the programmer to write standards-conforming programs, winlib it seems tries to
do the opposite and makes it easy for programmers to write programs completely
unlike any others for the atari.
