David,
Many thanks. It's been a few years since I last used Visual Studio and I never
progressed beyond beginner status, so I think MSYS and MinGW will minimise the
culture shock for me for the time being!

Done. But when I do PolyML.export("hw", main) and run the following in an
MSYS shell:
gcc -o hw hw.obj -L/usr/lib -lpolymain -lpolyml
then I get a complaint that there is an undefined reference to 'WinMain@16'. I
managed to devise a more complicated gcc command line that works by looking at
how the Poly/ML installation creates poly.exe, but the result is a Windows
application which just flashes up a window and executes immediately. Can I
create a console application? I.e., an application with a C/C++ main() and
C/C++ console I/O rather than a WinMain() and a GUI?
Aside: for the record, the more complicated command line that worked was:
gcc -o hw -mwindows -Wl,-u -Wl,_WinMain@16 hw.obj -L/usr/lib -lpolymain -lpolyml
