In idea is to just ignore those. Picolisp still has some things over miniPicolisp even without those. By the way Windows should support very good file locking, if I recall correctly, but it's a different kind of API. So Picolisp _could_ probably be completely ported to Windows, except fork(), but it would be a more complex port than any of the POSIX-ish ones, including Cygwin. I don't count Cygwin as Windows at all... :) //Jakob -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
