 initc()             Initialize C language support
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Declaration
   system.hdr

 Syntax
   proc initc extern

 Arguments
   None.

 Return
   None.

 Description
   The initc() function initializes support for linking C language libraries
   with a Force application. The initc() function must be called before any
   call is made to C library routines. In addition, one of the C language
   support modules supplied must be linked with the application. C support
   modules include:

   - bc31.obj for linking with Borland C++ 3.1 or later

   - msc60.obj for linking with Microsoft C 6.0 or later

   When linking with C libraries, force.lib must precede any C library
   on the linker command line. Use only large model C libraries.

 Example
   #define EXAMPLE_SYSTEM
   #include example.hdr

   /*
   Compile:        force -Gt test.prg
   Link for BC++:  flink test \force40\lib\bc31,,,force emu mathl cl
   Link for MS C:  flink test \force40\lib\msc60,,,force llibce
