Not that I know of. I used to build with mule to get the CR/LF conversion
but that has been excised from mule now into file-coding. I don't really
know how the non-X stuff would work anyhow (font-wise). Kirill was pretty
careful about doing mule stuff properly, but again, given that I don't
think he used it, its difficult to tell how correct it is. I am probably
the most guilty having written a lot of new code for the windows port.
(This is a real
question; if there's _nobody_, I could try building for Windose and
putting it through its paces, but it's a big cost for me as I have
_none_ of the infrastructure required yet, unless DJGPP 1.12/GCC 2.5.8
counts :-P, and would also have to figure out how to unbreak the
network interface to get Canna and/or Wnn, probably requiring a Win95
reinstall :-/)
I think this would be a Good Thing. Ben did a review of all the windows
code to highlight points where mule wasn't used. But I guess that's not
particularly useful right now given that he's out of the picture for the
moment.
