And why should they? Besides if you want it to be portable, load vmWare on
the Unix box and move your app over - Portable...No? <Just Kidding> If you
really want to write console apps and not use any framework or other MS
libraries, then why not just use GNU and vi/emacs, etc. AFAICT, you have
port issues in both directions. To get most unix programs to run on
windows, you need something like Cygwin (or other) right?
