 Cross-platform functions  Most POSIX calls are supported on Unix and Windows. For areas that are different (e.g. scanning directories) BOINC supplies some generic functions with implementations for all platforms. Similar code may be available from other open-source projects.

+ double dtime():: return Unix time with fractional seconds
+ double dday():: return Unix time at start of this day

-The BOINC API is implemented in C++. Information about using it from C and FORTRAN is [Fortran here].
+Several BOINC projects have experienced application crashes that turned out to be stack overflow.
+This can be fixed by calling:
