Keven Miller is right.  I tried the code on HP-UX and it works with the 
' flag, but it doesn't work on MPE.

The C99 standard does not contain it.  The current standard is available 
here:
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
(linked from http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/standards)

The Single Unix Specification has the ' flag marked as an X/Open extension.
