Re: Lout for DOS

[Stefan Heymer]

Hello Jeff,

once I tried to port Lout to OS/2 using the EMX compiler suite. Went smooth
so far, I had to #ifdef at some places, mainly when you used the link/unlink
combination to rename files, and the sort system call. I didn't get it to run,
though. Mostly it did the first pass on the document, but then bailed out
in your very cleverly set up binary search in a file. I guess there's some
problem in this region, that doesn't affect the unix distribution.

If you're looking for volunteers for tests of your port, I'd be happy to
yell "here! here! me!". But beware: I'm using OS/2 exclusively, but could
easily set up the DJGPP gnu compiler on my box. Interested?

So far

        Stefan
