I'm a VB programmer by trade (hold the tomatoes please), and I have a very
small C utility that I need to compile into a windows executable.

It's a widely used utility in academia for meteorological purposes, but
generally in the Unix/Linux environment.

If anyone would be so kind as to compile the code snippet here into an
executable I would so greatly appreciate it:

You'll note the only two dependencies are stdio and zlib

Thanks in advance,
Evan

If it's widely used, where is the official website to get the source?

If it's designed for Unix/Linux, the makefiles will behave better with mingw
gcc (http://www.mingw.org/) than Visual C++. If it needs only stdio and
zlib, mingw should work well. If it uses system calls, cygwin gcc would be
more suitable.

But, I don't recall ever seeing .bin for *nix software, only for old (before
OS X) Macintosh archives, and also embedded firmware.
