Although I've never had the privilege/curse of having to develop software for Win32, I think that if I ever did, I would seriously consider developing on a different platform and targeting Win32. I find Win32 one of the most uncooperative development platforms I have ever used. Of course, its uncooperativeness also would make it a very difficult target to cross compile to. This issue may come up at some point, since I may consider porting Adump to win32 at some point. I would probably just compile it natively, and use network shares so I can edit on my desktop machine. But, much of the world seems to disagree with me. Oh well. David Brown
