Last time I checked, it compiled successfully using djgpp. Actually, Eli Zaretskii spent a lot of time making the web2c stuff configure and compile cleanly under djgpp. While some of the supporting files have not been updated recently, getting it to compile again should be comparatively easy.

IIRC, ISO CDOM format also privileges .3 filenames; look at the various compatibility levels. -- Olaf Weber (This space left blank for technical reasons.)
