RE: [Gcl-devel] HEAD and GBC on Windows.

Hi Camm.

Sorry about that.  I suppose the differing +/-winnt branches led to code
which was valid here but not on the Eastern seaboard of the North
American continent under Linux.

In any event, your changes over the weekend (including the device
related ones) worked this morning on Windows thank you.

It would help, but you could equally choose to eschew Lisp maintainers
such as your's truly who can't read Lisp - besides, why should the Lisp
code in our source tree be treated more rigourously than the C code!

More problems for your most congenial consideration sent separately.

Cheers
