Files needed to natively compile PARI 2.3.0 with MSVC6 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. The result is a command line version with a somewhat
restricted comfort and missing assembler routines. But it works. The second section gives a DLL version, which can
be used from Maple. In both cases the complete MSVC projects can be downloaded.  The third sections provides a
solution how to use Pari from Excel (through VBA).

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