I have to say this is the neatest thing I've seen in a while-- I had no
idea that this was even possible!

My best advice for windows would be to make it look more like unix...

http://www.cygwin.com/

For what it is worth, varray it can be compiled and run on the MacOS X
beta :)

cc -O2 -Wall -fPIC -I/usr/local/rsi/idl/external -c -o varray.o varray.c
cc -shared -flat_namespace -undefined suppress -bundle -o varray.so varray.o

Sometimes it is nice to have cake and eat it too...

Cheers,
Randall
