Why doesn't it work on Windows? Is it dependant on the use of the windows
compiler tools?
Would it be possible if we use Cygwin tools? For example, Mercury uses them
with good results.

Well, the replay debugger for Caml relies on the Unix system call
fork(), which Windows doesn't implement natively.

Yes, because Cygwin provides an emulation of fork(). Actually, the
working version of the OCaml sources include a Cygwin port where the
debugger works (apparently). If you feel like beta-testing, you can
get it from http://camlcvs.inria.fr/. The next release of OCaml will
include Cygwin binaries.

Is it possible to port the debugger to Windows without the replay
feature? (Is it worthwhile?)
Thanks,
