...sorry for another reply...
I only want to say: Windows' C compilers are better compatible with Unix
than other people may think.
Many people in the past said: "You can't use this or that on Win32." But
I've compiled and successfully used
all of these programs.
Including all those great free utilities GNU programs, which are the reason
why "Linux is better. It's completely free.".
I wonder GNU license is free of sentences like "It is prohibited to use this
in Windows." :-)))
