Well now I have to look stupid here.  There was a discussion here at the
povray newsgroups about getting POVRay Win32 to compile under Alpha awhile
back.  My problem is that I am not speaking from my own experience.  (My
Visual C++ Risc Edition will not arrive until next week)

If I remember right the problem was with a dll or maybe several dll's that
were not available under the AlphaNT platform.  A Borland Delphi dll I
think.

Sorry if I was an ass about this.  I'll ask those that have actually tried
this to give a more complete answer.  And when my VC++ shows up I'll see
what the problems are firsthand.

Since you did mention the editor and ztimer I'll try to work around them.
You know building vim 5.0 as the editor would be kind of cool, with color
syntax and everything.
