 It works fine for me. The V framework was built using cygnus b18 and mingw
0.1.4. + 
mingw libstdc++.a, ( eliminating de mingw32 _G_Config.h ) my own makefile
and 

Vcmdprnt.cpp
line  31

#ifdef _WIN32
#define NWORD DWORD
// Introduced by Antonio M. F. Vargas; 16th June 1997;P.D., Azores,
Portugal
#define far	
#define FAR
// End Introduction 16th June 1997
#else
#define NWORD WORD
#endif
