I considered this but my wife, whose box I am using, is not a console
fan and I have to bow to her request to keep stuff I put on it to a
minimum. If I had the programming knowledge, I would convert them so
that I could compile them using an opensource C compiler but I am not,
so I hope that cygwin would help, of course I hope to be able to use
some gnu tools on this box.

Sean
