• Windows 95 & Windows NT users:
  
  1.  There's a pre-built executable, bzip2.exe, which
      should work.  You don't need to compile anything.
      You can run the `test.bat' batch file to check
      the executable is working ok, if you want.
  
  2.  The control-C signal catcher seems pretty dodgy
      under Windows, at least for the executable supplied.
      When it catches a control-C, bzip2 tries to delete
      its output file, so you don't get left with a half-
      baked file.  But this sometimes seems to fail
      under Windows.  Caveat Emptor!  I think I am doing
      something not-quite-right in the signal catching.
      Windows-&-C gurus got any suggestions?
  
      Control-C handling all seems to work fine under Unix.
