Chuckle, all 3 of those now come as source.

Chuckle, and I still have a copy of SAS/C for the amiga, 7 880k disks IIRC.
With two manuals each in 3" ring binders.

The old address at <http://coyoteden.dyndns-free.com:6309/gene> may resolve 
yet.

Apparently it depends on the mood dyndns.com is in, and the relative phases 
of the moons of Jupiter I suspect.  But note the port has changed to 6309 
from 85. Part of the connection problems may have been shentel now has port 
85 blocked.  Its difficult to traceroute yourself. :(

The card service at the registrar I am going to use to actually buy the 
name rejected my card because it expires at the end of this month, and 
despite requesting a fresh one from the bank, it hasn't arrived yet.

But your use of what I have, which is now about 3 months old, for lwtools 
in particular, will need an assembler or compiler that runs on windows.  
Since M$hit doesn't think the user has any business building his own, I 
have no clue what choices you have to successfully build it on windows.  
The 00README.txt file does not mention windows, and a quick inspection of 
the Makefile indicates its written in more or less pure *nix language.

Perhaps MinGW can build it?

I don't honestly know Brian, since I have zero windows machines here, 
everything runs linux. All 5 of them.
