Description:

UnixLib is a complete replacement ANSI compliant C library.  It
incorporates a full Version 7 UNIX system call interface, with some
common System V and 4.3 BSD C libraries.

A major improvement with version 3.7 is the use of Dynamic Areas
for the heap on RISC OS 3.5 or later, which can speed up context
switching and allow the memory to be virtualised.

Version 3.7b is now StrongARM compatible, and has significantly
rewritten signal handling and process control.
