Hello Eli and good evening/afternoon

Can you explain me what is 

        "define a high-level abstract layer of functions"

And with 

        "make every platform provide a platformspecific 
        implementation of those functions"

You mean I must program my e.g. main.c and for every OS I 
like to compile I must program a dos.c or linux.c with the 
same functions but correspond to the platform ???

...and then I must compile the ensemble "main.c + dos.c" and 
"main.c + linux.c" 

Thanks in advance.

Michelle
