So people don't have to have compilation and windows is a problem. even if many windows users use cygwin, I think the native port is very important. If there would be commercial applications written in O'Caml, I think they will be written for Windows (Anyone know any commercial applications for *nix? :-) I got the impression that the byte-code is compatible between different platforms (Is this true?), and then this would simplify distribution, since especially windows-users wouldn't have the compilationsproblems (unless they want to change the code or use the native compiler). /mattias ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
