Compiling PARI 2.3.0 with MSVC6 or Dev-C++ and using it from Maple or Excel
Thanks to Karim Belabas for supporting to find out how the concurrent version 2.3.0 can be compiled using MSVC6.
To do it one needs additional files with which he supplied me, they are to be found at the following pages. 

extra_sources_for_MSVC.zip (50 kB) are the files mp.c and pariinl.h to replace the distributed ones.

Please note: as licence the GNU GPL applies of course. You find Pari's homepage at http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/

The stuff for MSVC6 is here, and the stuff for Dev-C++ is here.

The examples in the two directories are not quite the same, Dev-C++ is more recent and examples are
somewhat more detailled.

Dev-C++  not only gives me faster executables, it is also in the spirit of GPL and non-propriatary.
