You can easily compile the Dumas files under unix. Just delete the
osbind.h inclusion and use printf for the output (there is a GEM output
function used somewhere, just delete the code and define Console or
whatever it is called to be printf).
I have been using it for both en and decoding for quite a while now, and
it seems very robust.
Highly recommended.
