I can't remember which version - I think it was 2.7.0, or something. I do
remember having to crank the stack way up, but I think there were problems
with the file processing - fopen, fread, fwrite, etc. It's unbelievable,
the number of times my hard drive gave me read/write errors on blocks. I
swear my hard drive still ain't quite right.

Thinking about it, It was using the ixemul.library, which in a speed test
with DICE v2 (on the same machine, using a program written for a different
course) was nowhere near as fast. I think the libnix option was a lot
faster, but still not as fast as DICE v2.
I don't remember getting my main project compiled under libnix, so I had to
put up with ixemul.
