Hi Shaping,
When you install the Windows SDK, it makes a cmd prompt link in the
start menu. Try compiling it from there. I think their prompt does
more than just set the PATH, but I haven't researched it.
Once you get nmake working, there's a script that can build and

Yes, Factor supports green threads within a VM. The IO library uses
non-blocking IO behind the scenes to minimize blocking as well.

Does anyone use a socket pair to connect two communicating VMs, whether they
are running in one OS process in two threads or in two OS processes? If so,
is there some example code?
Why don't we just put this on an FFI word? Is that problematic? I would

I like the e-mail. It's slower but neater for me. But I've never really
given IRC a fair shake. Do most Factor contributors hang-out on IRC? If the
IRC is the main mode of communication, can you suggest a great Windows IRC
client?
Most of us are both in IRC and on the mailing list.

Hi everyone.
I'm very happy to have re-discovered Factor. It has come a long way in the
six or so years since I first examined it. I watched your Google Talks
presentation, and have read a good portion of http://factorcode.org/.
I'm a long-time (16 years) Smalltalker (VisualWorks and
