Unfortunately we couldn't solve the problem with fcntl(), even under cygwin (don't know if the situation would be better today). But I'm afraid that there will be many other problems. Especially select(), fork() and pipe() issues come to mind. > On the other hand, I was able to hack in some support for line numbers > and file names for error messages in miniPicoLisp, relatively quickly.
