- With the various flavors of the language around, it's true that most libaries
- are compiler dependant. Our collection of cross-platform tools for example,
- not only requires a seperate library for each platform, but each compiler on
- some platforms. Example, on Windows 16, we support MSVC and Borland. We have
- to have seperate libraries and DLL's for each compiler.
