From what I gather, getting GAMBAS to run on Windows proper would require all dependencies to also work under Windows. Windows is also a moving target but unlike Linux is largely backward-incompatible and would require all kinds of hand-holding to get something working under each Windows version. In other words, it would be an infinitely labor-intensive mess. This is unfortunate, as I would like to see GAMBAS work in Windows as well. The silver lining is that GAMBAS shows Windows up; it embarrasses it and lets people know they can craft powerful and robust programs using a different ecosystem entirely. Streamlined virtualization under Windows is probably the best-case usage of GAMBAS, using something like andLinux. -- Kevin Fishburne Eight Virtues www: http://sales.eightvirtues.com e-mail: [email protected] phone: (770) 853-6271 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
