I got the (last?) open source version of J: ftp://ftp.gaertner.de/pub/j/j-v7-src.tgz
and then tried to get it running under Cygwin. The first issue was the "nan" in the J source conflicted with math.h With some help from comp.lang.c, I fixed that, but not before they cracked some jokes about the coding style of the J source: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.c/browse_thread/thread/37da5f806e0ba848/8990e25f946dd5ff So then it compiled, but with a few warnings: p.c:69: warning: conflicting types for built-in function 'conj' s.c: In function `nls': s.c:128: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type w.c: In function `spellit': w.c:192: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type But it just gives me a tickle to see this little baby run: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/prg/fossj : ./j7 J7 Copyright (c) 1990-1993, Iverson Software Inc.
