Why? (specifically, I am about to try using a GCC port to WinNT, and I would like to know _why_ you think their work is shit).
First, because it's King John "Lackbrain" Gilmore's company. :-) Second, because they hire unqualified people (rather, people whose qualifications have nothing to do with the job) and they've already fucked up every project they've ever touched. Third, because they steal from the people who originally developed the free software by charging money for the non-existent "support". I'm quite happy with MS VC++ for NT. I doubt that Cygnus can do a good job porting gcc to NT. People much better than the assholes at Cygnus have not done a great job porting gcc to OS/2. If I want gcc, I just run it on the Linux box, or a Sun box. Fuck Cygnus. --- Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
