   I got the windows version of Kerberos 5 beta 6 to run on a Win 3.1
   system at work this morning, but last night I tried to build it on
   Windows 95 at home. The make failed. 

   The problem is the 8.3 file name mapping.....

We've already anticipated you...

The problem is already partially addressed in Beta 6, although I didn't
have time to work out all of the kinks until after Beta 6 was released.
"make -f Makefile.in kerbsrc-nt.zip" will generate a zip file which
doesn't have the 8.3 limitations.  There were a couple of bugs in the
Makefiles which assumed the 8.3 naming conventions, but I've since had
that fixed.

Our current sources now compile all of the .obj files under Windows
NT/Win95 with the 32-bit compiler.  We still have to generate a correct
DLL and then port all of the windows programs to Win-32, but that is in
progress, too.
