<h2>Limitations</h2>
<ul>
<li>
- Exim is written in ANSI C. This should not be much of a
- limitation these days. However, to help with systems that
- lack a true ANSI C library, Exim avoids making any use of the
- value returned by the `<tt>sprintf()</tt>' function, which is
- one of the main incompatibilities. It has its own version of
- `<tt>strerror()</tt>' for use with <b>SunOS4</b> and any other
- system that lacks this function, and a macro can be defined to
- turn `<tt>memmove()</tt>' into `<tt>bcopy()</tt>' if
- necessary.
