The last work was done by David Billinghurst.  In sum, setting the
DBEGIN as he has done appears to be a step forward.  Now we just need
to get the NULL_OR_ON_C_STACK macro right.  If one of you could
actually find out where the stack is on these systems, that would be
great.  If you'd just like to try to get past the next hurdle, knock
one '0' off the NULL_OR_ON_C_STACK definition from the last mask, i.e.

0xf000000 -> 0xf00000

I still haven't put back unexent.c into the cvs, but will if either of
you can get a working build with it.

OK, thanks for the suggestion!  Does tcl/tk not work on cygwin?  Very
easy to use.  I thought there would be a windows port.

Take care,
