I uploaded a new version compiled with cygwin (Thanks Dann Corbit and
Remi Coulom for the advice, and thanks the people who wrote me to tell about
the problems). This one should work.
It took me a while to learn a couple of things about DLLs and
find out the proper compiler directives after digging for a while.
It needs a DLL that it is supposed to be provided by any Windows system.
I am not sure if I used the best optimization because it is a bit slower that
the executable I got with djgpp but I am not worry about that for now.

Please try this version at
