   I hope to have time someday to port it to a native Win32 / Win94 app,   
   but it would take a while.  It uses a lot of POSIX calls (fork(),   
   select(), kill(), wait4(), stat(), statvfs(), ...) that would need to   
   be changed.   
      
   However, I did get it to work in Cygwin today.  You have to use   
   PuTTYCyg to get a proper terminal console, and set PuTTYCyg to UTF-8   
   encoding, but otherwise qodem seems to run OK.  I put a new   
   qodem-0.2.2.tar.gz on the main web page if you would like to be my   
   guinea pig. :)
