I"ve been testing it under Windows2000, so NT should be no problem. I have
found that the Cygwin linker consumes /gobs/ of memory when trying to link
some extension modules. So I suggest MSVC for that platform, believe it or
not. I haven't tested it with Borland's free compiler, and Metrowerks CWPro6
is known to contain a bug that prevents it working (which they have fixed
for the next release).

Dave
