You need MASM and MSVC++ to use it, though. But you're correct that there is no interface for the Win32 API. We don't have the manpower to invest in a full Win32 port. The majority of our serious users works under Unix, anyway. If you feel like doing the Win32 port, we'll support your efforts, of course. Regards, - Xavier Leroy
