Re: [Nel] problems compiling.

[HERNANDEZ CORDOBA RODRIGO JOSE]

Well, if you dont mind downloading the whole tree, the code can be
retrieved with cvs like so:

cvs -d:ext:address@hidden:/cvsrepo co nevrax

use a blank password (just hit return when prompted)

This is work in progress, and currently does not compile on either MSYS
or Linux (I am adding the inline asm blocks to the Linux code as well)
and there are some issues on VC7, have not tried VC6, the guess is there
might be some issues there as well.

like I said, nelmisc.dll is the only one that does get compiled so far.

Cheers!
