I've been wanting to try out the Twin non-X windowing system I posted
about a few weeks ago.  It comes only as source though, so I'll need to
compile it.  With this message, I just want to ask for tips related to
compiling, and what might be the easiest, quickest, method.  I could
install Slack 7.1 on some spare drive space and get the compiler that way
- this is the less desireable option, though.  I'd rather not clutter up
drive space on my BL2 system either, by installing the compiler.  What I
would like to look into is using the BL1 compiler.  Steven opined earlier,
IIRC, that this compiler might work on a BL2 system: am I remembering
correctly?  Input on that possibility would be appreciated.  Also, I just
want to confirm that compiling the package on the BL1 system wouldn't
result in a package that could install on BL2, right?  Just wondering,
since I do have the compiler installed on a BL1 system.  Any tips, advice,
opinions etc will be appreciated.

Thanks, James

PS Steven: did you get a message from me recently on the BL add-ons page?
