Portability

C source codes can be compiled in Solaris and Windows XP/ME/2000 operating system. The GNU C compiler is recommended, since the programs have been originally compiled with its Solaris (GCC), DOS (DJGPP) version or Windows (MinGW) version.

Compilation in Linux and Macintosh is possible, because code follows C89 (ANSI C) or C99 (ISO/IEC 9899:1999) standards, but compilation is not automatically tested.
