Thanks for testing that. As far as native Windows goes, that makes sense. I know Perl and Python work there, but I have never tried Autoconf and Automake. I think in the past I used MYS2 to test builds [1]. > And regarding z/OS — its newline conventions are that much of a mess [1] > that it's better not to even think about it. Interesting read. I've never used z/OS, or much of the other proprietary operating systems for that matter (e.g. HP-UX, AIX). [1] https://www.msys2.org Collin
