I managed to compile Amaya 1.2a on Linux. The only extra steps required were the installation of lestif, and making "cpp" available in the path. Then I discovered that the patch I posted earlier was not enough to fix the problem I was having (with Word 97, actually). It is a correct patch (as far as I know), but in a libwww function which is apparently never used by Amaya. Here is an additional patch (attached to this mail), which completely fixes the problem. In "Text_SGML.inc", I would like to see a line added for the '>' character. In "html2thot.c" this character is present, but there seems to be a bug in line 333 for the '<' character (the ASCII code is 60, not 62). With this fix, every '>' character which is not used for tag closing is saved as ">", as suggested by the HTML 4.0 specification. Is it possible that this patch will be evaluated for inclusion in the next release of Amaya? Another remark. The zlib, png and jpeg libraries distributed with Amaya are very old. Are there any plans to upgrade them? Compare: Amaya includes Most recent version zlib 0.95 1.1.2 png 0.88 1.0.1 jpeg 6 6b For zlib and jpeg upgrading should be easy. There are no incompatible changes as far as I know. For png it is a little bit more difficult because version 0.95 introduced a new (and much better) API. But it would be fully worth the effort. All those libraries are available as dll's on Windows 95/NT, and as shared libraries on UNIX (I have them for Windows and Linux).
