No, I never tested the library in Windows command prompt or
MSVC. I like my POSIX conveniences too much. But of course, Chicken is
a vastly more complex program, so I am sure yours are perfectly
legitimate grievances. I was just curious to hear what problems people
have encountered, since I don't use Windows, and most likely never
will.
