I have to admit it is my personal taste to use vc++ on Win32 platform. I did see benchmarks showed the vc++ performs better than gcc. I remembered seeing that in one of the Dr. Dobb's issue. Also I have heard remarks from Bjarne Stroustrup that vc++ or Intel c++ performs better than gcc. Maybe it matters more for C++ than pure C. I don't want to discuss this issue further more as it should be more appropriate for C/C++ user groups.
I merely want to provide some help to the community especially on the Win32 side . If using or praising vc++ insult someone in this group, my apologies. Best regards, Zhichao On 4/21/07, A.J.Mechelynck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Steve takes the trouble of downloading the latest runtime files whenever he compiles a new set of binaries, and he packages them together. That means that if, for instance, Dr. Chip has upgraded his netrw package (and Bram has uploaded the new version), you get the upgrade together with Steve's distribution. Ditto for changes in the help. I used not to do that, or only rarely. Steve's distributions are in many ways "better" than mine used to be.

The first syllable comes from the English word "egg", meaning "egg". I don't know where the "nog" comes from. To make eggnog, you'll need rum, whiskey, wine gin and, if they are in season, eggs...
