Excuse my ignorance, but can these tools be built for win95/98? Or
is it another one of those NT only things? My small brain can only
hold so much these days, so I may have to stick to linux for the
EGCS & glibc2 stuff...
If anyone's interested, I put together a goofy little web page for
the other folks in my C class with links to the cygwin32, EGCS,
ntemacs, and other free win32 tools (and some linux and other
stuff). It's at:

Comments, flames, suggestions welcome
Later, Steve
PS. Could I get some feedback on these too?
