I cannot test that in ME/98 now. Laptop needs a new power cable and 
vmware was too big for my hd.

I believe I or Rafael wrote a minor atoi() base 10 stub to be ntdll / 
strtol independent.
The whole atoi issue is to get rid of the slow strtol:
error checking, C locale only?

Shouldn't this dependency be resolved in cygwin/newlib?
Perl shouldn't care about that.

Don't remember.
But sorry, I'm very busy right now. Maybe tommorrow.
Have to write a simple WOID - webshop-in-one-day.
