I'm afraid not yet... I seem to remember that there was a misplaced
#else or #endif in myreadline.c -- exactly what trouble are you
experiencing (compiler error messages and lines (not just line
numbers!)) might give me a clue as to what's going astray...

I would like to improve the support for various platforms in the next
release but at home I have a Mac and at work we only have one PC that
I can hardly use so I'm afraid I have to rely on volunteer effort
here... (A very nice setup is being prepared for Windows NT, if I can
interest you for that... :-)
