I've had better luck with V under Windows than V under RedHat 5.0 for some
odd reason (some of the built-in X dialogs, for instance, file selection,
misbehave).
The biggest drawback to V is that the widgets available are currently limited
(no multi-select comboboxes, no trees, and some limitations on creating lists
on the fly, IIRC), but for simpler programs, it's an excellent framework to
work with.

As of V 1.15 and 1.16, it works with both Win16 and Win32, at least with MS
Visual C++ (1.52 and 5.0, respectively), and I have compiled a program I
wrote with both (and, for that matter, Linux/X11). V is slightly persnickety
on data alignment and pointer sizes in Win32, but the distribution comes with
project files for MSVC and Makefiles for Borland C++ (I don't know which
versions).
There have been consistent and reported problems mixing V with the Cygnus
windows stuff, though. I don't have details, since I haven't tried it
myself.
