Your libwin32 package, does it work on Win98 / ME?
I cannot test that in ME/98 now. Laptop needs a new power cable and
vmware was too big for my hd.
I have included Yitzchak's patch and the Win32CORE module statically
into perl, now the users are getting:
ntdll.dll is missing export atoi().
Hmmm. atoi() is used all over the place in the perl source...
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.
Why was this not a problem with 5.8.5 before including Win32CORE
statically?
Don't remember.
But sorry, I'm very busy right now. Maybe tommorrow.
Have to write a simple WOID - webshop-in-one-day.
