I have build GS 2.1 on my IBM PC (286, ATI SVGA and Nec3D) using TurboC++
with no major problems. The only problems I recall was the inconsisent
declaration of the stklen variable and some minor TC make definitions.
The good news is that some of the bugs I noticed in GS 2.0 when compiled
with TurboC++ are gone (arcs are drawn correctly and so is escher.ps).
Please be more specific and describe the problems you encountered.
