For example, FreeCOM can only be compiled with TCPP 1.1. I tried to port it to OW using my C-library, but the build process creates a resource based on the TCPP map file, so this will take extra effort. Most other programs should be compileable with OW when coupled with my C-library -- Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.
