Yes. This was when I went to try it.

I used cygwin32, which emulates a Unix environment quite well.
Surprisingly, the file I had to tweak most, was the Makefile (but since
cygwin32 includes sed...). The rest compiled quite well without any
changes to the C code, IIRC. This was all I could test.

Disclaimer: the NT server is gone now (wasn't even mine). No NT at this
shop. I agree completely with Russell in msg. #27580.
