Hi Bill,

I saw the document in another thread (not so private after all). A
Microsoft Word document, indeed can't get more obscure than that - how
do you read it on your Coco :p

BTW, this is all in the wiki documentation. So I'd suggest to anyone
to first read the Fine Documentation and then come back here if
needed.

I have to run the commands 2 or 3 times before I get a complete build with no errors. I wonder that since I'm running Cygwin on a quad core with 4 gig mem under Win Vista HP 64 bit, that it's only allocating 1 cpu and a little mem to the process. I know that some "terminal emulations" allow me to choose how much mem and the number of cpus, but that's in 64 bit programs. I think cygwin is 32 bit. so that could be part of the problem.

I haven't tried either of them, but I believe running Linux in a
virtual machine would be easier than Cygwin.

I have seen the 218's, they can be ignored. Anyway I made a lot of
commits last night, so I am curious to hear if latest hg works better
for you.

Cheers,
