Abstract
QED radiative corrections to neutral current deep
inelastic production of heavy quarks are calculated in the leading log
approximation and compared with the corresponding corrections assuming a
massless charm parton. Besides the inclusive case, corrections to
the semi-inclusive
and the effect of z-cuts are studied.
In the latter case, the massless corrections differ from
the correct massive radiative corrections to deep inelastic heavy
quark production by about
