[sword-devel] Win32 FileMgr Subclass

[Troy A. Griffitts]

OK guys, another question.

What exactly does your build environment look like these days for 
win32?  I just tried to boot one of my old Windows VMs with 
Borland/Inprise/Embarcadero build tools and it is in such a sad state, I 
am not even going to attempt to recover that world right now.  I'd 
rather support your build environments.  What are you using? cygwin? 
MicrosoftVS? Something else?
