Well, I do know how long it takes to compile a 2MB windows program.
2H.. It's no advanced tool. Uses a bit of serial IO, some network
connections. But I mainly blame the compiler for this time. I once
compared compile time between GCC(EGCS) and MS VisualC++ 6.0 and GCC
came out as a winner by a mile.
But I must say that I pity you. Guess that you still have nightmares
about MS code.
