Ok let me revise and move some of the details around based on our new 
configuration.

Previously I got the CF_ISQL series to run with minimal trouble, and 
they all passed.  I did modify some files to point to win32 specific 
stuff, but this was early days, and the instructions were for unix.  

The tests that need to compile code I didn't try, in principle there 
should not be too many problems, since we spawn a shell and I even ran 
the MS Visual c++ 6.0 compiler but I didn't go too far, mainly i wanted 
to see if it was possible.

To run it once the environment variables point towards the right 
ISQL.EXE file etc, it's really just a matter of typing in $make or $runtest.

But wait a bit (a day or so, for me to get time to rewrite the notes and 
to give it a rough try - Im a bit busy currently), and with a little bit 
of help, I feel we'll be able to get it working like a charm.

In terms of using the gcc compiler, for testing, It would be nice if we 
can, but I think we will need to experiment with it a bit, I've only 
played with cgywin gcc to compile 4-5 line programs, and although it's 
as good as the linux version, I have no idea how it interacts with the 
MS world.  I like the idea of compiling fb using gcc on cygwin,  but I 
don't have time to try it out.

And I'd better brush up on my spanish :-).

Cheers

Mark
