45	45	The various incarnations of Illgol were originally built with [Borland C++
46		3.1](http://www.itbusiness.ca/it/client/en/Home/News.asp?id=3878), but
47		there is nothing Borland-specific in the code, and should be buildable by
48		just about any modern C compiler, with only a few dozen warnings being
49		thrown. The sources are not compiled seperately; just do like

64	61	As a bonus, with a one of these PC emulators, you won't even need to build
65	62	ILLGOL or Illgola-2, as they come with pre-compiled binaries. And since
66	63	you'd be running them in an emulator, you won't even have to worry so much
67	64	about the dangers of running executable programs that you stumble across in
68	65	strange software distributions on the Internet.
