I'd like to keep aligned with the latest "stable" release of Fred. > 2) How would you rate your code for platform-independence and portability, > especially to platforms like Windoze? For now, I'm pretty much ignoring Win32 and other non-UNIXy systems. I'm using glib-1.2 though, and I'm making an effort to mark non-portable functions as such, so somebody with win32 experience should be able to port Reiska when it's ready for general consumption. I've wrapped the multithreading in a "create_thread / do_apocalypse" type function pair, which shouldn't be that hard to port (especially if there's a viable pthreads implementation for win32). > I can anticipate that in time, Windows node installations will vastly > outnumber *nix ones (if they don't already).
