I am trying to compile a version of crafty in my "quency compiler" which uses GCC. I am running on a windows system (upgraded 95), I cant seem to compile it im my computer using the main.c file. most likely because of the commands for UNIX system. I was wondering if it's possible for you to send me an edited main.c suitable for my PC configuration pls note, I am a "dabba" (newbe) in C++, thanks Pavel
