Yes, it is compiled using VC++.

I have disabled most of the optimizations on the compile as they seem to 
produce some weird output.  This is most noticable when the speed optimzations 
are set to full.
I will disable all optimizations and see what happens. 
Just so you know, the code base of texmacswin32.exe is version 1.0.0.17.  Was 
their any weird crashes known in this build on linux??
