THIS IS DEFINATELY INCORRECT !!!
V has both X Windows AND MS-Windows support.
The MS-Windows version comes with make files for common compilers such
as
Borland etc.
I have V version 1.16 working on both Windows 95 and X Windows (Linux)
on
a 486DX2/66. I compiled the MS-Win version with CYGWIN32. It runs
about
HALF the speed of the X Windows compiled version. I believe the
performance
hit is the CYGWIN stuff. I don't have any commercial compilers handy to
compile V with so I can't be absolutely sure, but since other non GUI
utilities such as "ls" are very slow I think I am right.
