Unfortunately it is very difficult for most developers to test with NHC98 because it does not work with any recent version of Linux (specifically since Linux kernel version 2.6 some years ago) due to the 'high mem' bug.
I build nhc98 every night on Linux, Sparc, and MacOS X. It works here...
I admit that I've not tried building NHC98 for a while but I've not heard that the bug has been fixed.
The high-mem bug was fixed in March this year. So yes, nhc98 is long overdue for a refreshed release that includes this patch, along with more current versions of the library packages. I'll try to get to it before Christmas. Regards, Malcolm
