RE: Problem with ns (fwd)

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@ISI.EDU>]

We (at least me, Christian Joensson and Matt Marchant) have been able to
complete validate on win32 (but with multiple test suites failed...). That
should have nothing to do with passing file handles between otcl and C++. 
(See mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ns/ns-win32-build.html, courtesy of Matt
Marchant).

However, the test suite does not cover everything. If you experience a
particular problem, it would be preferable if you can submit a patch to
the mailing list. Thank you very much.
