Well, in the meantime, i built one on WinNT. The build always failed on
Win95. Tried Canadian cross on Linux and i too gave up in frustration. But
now that i have one built, i'll put it up on a webpage tomorrow. First, i'm
gonna check the files it produces on a linux machine to be sure it works ok.

Some other news, i have some patches so that dll.exe works on Win95. I sent
them to Markus and am awaiting his comments. I'll be putting them on the
page too.

It seems that that clears the last problem and i have a working LegOS 0.2.2
on Win95.

I'll post the urls tomorrow.

Peter
