V has both X Windows AND MS-Windows support. The MS-Windows version comes with make files for common compilers such as Borland etc. I have V version 1.16 working on both Windows 95 and X Windows (Linux) on a 486DX2/66. I compiled the MS-Win version with CYGWIN32. It runs about HALF the speed of the X Windows compiled version. I believe the performance hit is the CYGWIN stuff. I don't have any commercial compilers handy to compile V with so I can't be absolutely sure, but since other non GUI utilities such as "ls" are very slow I think I am right.
