Paolo's right, don't waste any more time on v13.

I've been contemplating the same thing with Borland C and/or
Watcom C. I don't have Microsoft C, although I'd be interested
to hear how fast your resultant code runs. Watcom used to
produce the fastest code, but I heard that Microsoft was now
as fast, or faster.

I haven't really done much, yet, 'cos I've been scared off
by the shared library business. I haven't really looked at
what's changed in the source to support that.

I was also trying the other day to compile the original
spice3f4 with MinGW, the gcc version for Win32 which uses
the standard Win32 libraries. So far no luck, though. The
MinGW port of make is giving me strange error messages
when it tries to invoke itself.

Who said C was portable ?

Cheers,

Alan
