Hi Dick, I'm glad you're still making good progress. Just should if you need anything tested on Win64, that's no problem at all. The TODO list on the mingw-org-wsl project is huge and I don't think the guys over there are in any real hurry to get it released so I think using MinGW to target msvcr71, 80, 90, etc. is some way off. Many thanks for all your efforts as always! Best Regards, Brian.
