<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Update: Polyglot 1.4b30</span></strong><br />
Michel Van den Bergh's Linux and Windows builds based on Fonzy Bluemers modification<br />
of Fabien Letouzey's Polyglot with original work and bugfixes<br />
- Conversion from C++ to C (suggested by E.M.)<br />
- More refactoring. The win32 and posix I/O now have a uniform interface (see pipex.h).<br />
- Some more meaningful error messages added.<br />
- Some buffer overflow checks added.<br />
- Simplification of strange signal kludge in gui.c.<br />
- Removal of obsolete code in engine.c and gui.c. Platform specific code has been abstracted and pushed into pipex_win32.c and pipex_posix.c<br />
- The format of the version number has changed once again. Debian was unhappy with the previous one.<br />
