Re: sather port to win32

[Alexander GaZbO Blazej]

No one is maintaining or developing the Sather project (it's currently
orphaned).  So, you're on your own to fix problems (unless you can find
others to help).  You may wish to check out these languages, which are
maintained:

Smart Eiffel: http://smarteiffel.loria.fr/
Haskell: http://haskell.org/
