That program I talked about that I build under PM3/Klagenfurt,
NT386GNU, is a multi-threaded real-time financial application that,
at times, trades over a million dollars an hour's worth of stocks.
It doesn't run on Windows for any technical reason.  If it were
completely up to me, it wouldn't.  But I am still glad that Modula-3
works on Windows.
