platforms, on OS/2 (Rev. 2.11, Warp, WSeC, with or without PMX) with the
XFree86/OS2 environment, and on Windows NT with the Cygwin environment.
[Provided, we get the stuff compiled, but I'm optimistic. Emx 09.d comes
with gcc 2.81, pgcc 1.1.3 for emx is to my astonishment functional,
although it's a memory and compile time hog and certainly not bug-free.
(Sun are rumoured to use it for their OS/2 ports.) This easy 'port',
i.e. it is mainly the tiresome debugging work done by SMiyata, is in
fact due to three individuals, Eberhard Mattes (he wrote the stable and
optimized EMX Posix development libraries), Holger Veit (he started
XFree86/OS2 and hacked the OS/2 kernel for that) and Andrew Zabolotny,
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (pgcc and libstdc++ port) and years of their work. Maybe
we should mention them somewhere in the credits.]
