The last kind of people that worth help are ones that use Windows by<br>
"corporate standards" and thus constitute major force, used by Microsoft<br>
for their market dominance and thus keeping companies from providing<br>
decent support for their hardware in non-Microsoft systems. While there<br>
may be valid reasons for Windows port, this one isn't.<br>
<p>
There are a lot of free software projects that recently got Win32 port,<br>
but I have yet to see any of them other than perl, that produced anything<br>
but #ifdef's in sources, headache for developers and "How to install it on<br>
Windows 98?" questions in mailing lists.<br>
