After spending the last few days trying to get a DJGPP-compiled Crafty to work
with Winboard, I have discovered it won't work  :(
(It worked fine from a DOS box).

Tim Mann states this in the documentation for Winboard - I should have RTFM.
Tim refers people to the Cygwin compiler - but the authors admit to an unfixable
conflict between it and win9x (NT is ok).

So it looks like MS VC++ is the only choice for a Winboard compatible program.
