This should not be a problem anymore in 2007. Why not host it at
sourceforge or google code?

S.

Because hosting it at Sourceforge won't make it run reliably on
Windows nor will it provide me with a free copy of Windows on which to
do my testing.

Indeed. But I was only responding to your bandwidth complaint. Not
sure why you bring up your issues with Windows when we talk about
hosting the project.

S.

As I said, your idea is a good one and one that I've had myself in the
last few months. So thanks for bringing it up.

But my point is one of priorities. There isn't a great deal of point
in me moving the project just to provide a broken executable for
Windows users. The problem with SBCL on Windows needs to be dealt with
first.

I'm not sure what the problem is but it seems strange that the code
works fine with the same compiler on a different platform and a
different compiler on the same platform. But people seem keen to use
SBCL on Windows so I guess it is something I need to look into.
