That was about the amount of time it took me to convert an application of about
15,000 lines of code so that it could compile and run equivalently to the 3.51
version. The conversion scripts did about 80-90% of the work. As usual the
remaining small amount took hours. One main thing left to do. I just found the
messages in the archive about implementing the EO constructors in the new
signature (Dave's suggestions don't seem to be present in the New in EOF 3.0
release notes) , but it works without that.

It seems to be looking for the Symantec jit: "Warning: JIT compiler "symcjit"
not found. Will use interpreter."

If I had another jit how would I tell WO to use it?
