OF COURSE NOT!
Hence, there will be a windows printing port patch soon and before we
know it  mcedit is 20Mb uncompiled. Like emacs.

Remember: any half-supported function is an UNSUPPORTED FUNCTION.

So this brings up the question: do we want to clogg mcedit with platform
specific functions or do we want it to be a maintainable piece of
software?
