Windows compiler?

[Bruce M. Axtens]

G'day everyone

Is there a working M3 compiler for Windows that can be used to write
standard DLLs and even, perhaps, COM/ActiveX DLLs?

Kind regards,
Bruce.

I'd say this depends on the code you are writing in M3. Generally, M3
needs a lot more runtime support (for example, garbage collection) than
C, and this support won't be there by default in an application.
I'm no expert though in anything related to Windows, so I don't really
know what's special about COM/ActiveX DLLs that might need to be
considered.

All standard CM3 library packages produce a DLL though, so the basic
mechanism should be there.
