Has anyone tried cygnus-win32 and/or arla with NT-5.0-Beta2 ??

: The current code works in test mode (--test) under NT with

: file system (IFS) for NT. According to what we understand, this is
: quite complex to write.

: We don't have any plans at all for 95 and 98 ports, but assuming this

: be done.

: As usual, we cannot promise any delivery dates and appreciate comments
: and assistance from those interested.
