    Well, I wanted to take a look at the 1.7.9 server, and I figured what could be
    a better stress test for the new version anyway than to try to compile and run
    it under OS/2, so I did..

    ..And as a few people already know, I succeeded (without much work, I might
    add..  it actually compiled without a squawk when I set up the raw_config.h
    file properly (I didn't have a version of sh for OS/2 handy, so I just edited
    things by hand based on the result of configure on a Solaris box.. I might
    add that I had to undo several of the NDECL tweaks and such which were neeeded
    for Solaris but aren't for OS/2, which I guess means OS/2 is better unix
    than Solaris? :) (I always suspected as much)))

    ANYway..  The main point of this message is to announce that I also went ahead
    and pulled together everything anyone else who wants to do the same thing
    needs to compile LambdaMOO 1.7.9alpha1 under OS/2, and have put it up for FTP
    from my FTP directories.

    The OS/2 EMX 0.9a MOO porting kit is at ftp.crl.com in the
    /users/ro/riche/MOO/os2 directory as MOO-OS2-1.7.9.zip.  For those who just
    want to run it, I've also put a compiled executable in that directory as well.

    Have fun!
