RE: snapshot of Lua 4.1 (work)

["Eric Ries" <eries@...>]

I am a little confused. I thought coroutines were going to be part of the
4.1 release? If not, I'll give the CORO library a shot, and see what I can
get it to do.

Has anyone had any luck running it on Windows either under Cygwin or MSVC++?
