Could you clarify what you mean by the sentences above ?

What is "Win4.0" ?  (is it Windows NT 4.0, or some other OS I
                     haven't even heard about ?)

What do you mean by "It looks like perl works better on Unix than on NT" ?
What have been your specific problems ?
And how does it affect using Cons on NT ?

I think both Perl and Cons works pretty well on the Win32-platforms
(I use it on  both NT and Windows2000).

Since both Perl and Cons were "born" on Unix, there have of course
been some problems historically with the earliest "ports".
But I don't think that is very relevant today.

Of course, both Perl and Cons could be made even better, but that
goes for Perl/Cons on UNIX as well as on the Win32-platforms ...

I'm really interested in having Cons work well on the
Win32-platforms, so if you have some Perl-related problems with Cons
on NT it would be interesting to understand the nature of those
problems.
