A preliminary version of XLISP-STAT for Win32 is now available. It
should run under Windows NT on Intel processors or under Windows 3.1
with Win32s installed. The archive file for the Win32 version is
WXLS32ZP.EXE in pub/xlispstat/mswin on umnstat.stat.umn.edu.

This version removes limits on array sizes present in the 16 bit
version. Under Win32s it still has a rather small system stack size,
but the system stack size should be reasonable under Windows NT (I
would appreciate it if someone could test that -- I don't have access
to a Windows NT machine myself).

As in the 16-bit version, it is possible to call code in a DLL from
XLISP-STAT, but for the Win32 version the DLL has to be a 32-bit DLL.

The 32-bit version of XLISP-STAT requires Win32s to run on Windows
3.1. Version 1.1.5a of the Win32s software, the only version this
distribution has been tested with, is available from Microsoft's
anonymous ftp server ftp.microsoft.com in the file Win32s115a.Zip in
the /developr/win32dk/sdk-public directory. Once Win32s is installed,
assuming you need it, the installation process for the 32 bit version
is analogous to the process for the 16 bit version outlined above.
