I have tried and, so far, everything seems to work including the "control-c"

Regarding the gc$ (that I used to call to reduce the change of garbage 
collector "fixnum" error with the 2.5.0) it does now return the following 
message
    
    Error: LISP:GBC [or a callee] requires more than zero arguments.
    Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
    Error signalled by LISP:GBC.
    Broken at COND.  Type :H for Help.

This is ok to me since the garbage collector bug is gone

I am sorry, most of my troubles seem to having been caused by the
"gcl-2.5.3-ansi-japi-xdr.20030701_mingw32.zip" pulled from the cvs

In fact, I should have built GCL from the source files but my "cygwin" 
environment does still fail with some errors
I need to communicate with you on this subject, but right now, I am in the
middle of a management mess that takes 100% of my time 

Texas Instruments does uses hundreds of Sun Sparc, and pc linux farms
But, all laptops are still windows XP based

This is why Win32 images was important for me
