[9fans] compiling 9pm on XP

[Russ Cox]

Has anyone compiled 9pm on XP recently and would
be willing to share a fresh binary set?
Apparently the old binaries (sam in particular)
no longer work on the most recent versions of XP.

Sam (and everything else I have tried in 9pm) WORKSFORME on Microsoft
Windows XP (The nice computer tells me that it is Home Edition, Version
2002, Service Pack 2).

Yes, WORKSFORME too on XP Professional on a Fujitsu Lifebook 2110.
However, it does not work on the new T60/X60 dual-core laptops, running
the same version of XP as the Fujitsu, which Lucent is replacing the
old T23s with. There are many places to look here for a culprit.

what happens on the t60/x60 boxes is that
sam starts and just wedges, doesn't accept input, nothing.
i can only report what others tell me, i don't have one
of these laptops myself.

thanks.

I have experienced the same behavior on Win2kSP4
in only one case.  When WorkRave application was
running.  WorkRave seem to be filtering(blocking
for some periods) input.  IMHO, some versions/
installations of XP may have some process similar
to WorkRave.
