Genesis will compile correctly using the Cygwin package on NT
with no changes. Cygwin can be obtained at www.cygwin.com .
Cygwin now ships with gdbm, however its gdbm is broken on Win9x
systems. I am guessing that it may work on Win/ME though I can't
be certain. Cygwin also now comes with Perl so you should be able
to execute the test suite and the utilities.
I don't know if it still works with Borland C++ 5.x or not.
