Windows support is incomplete.  Marcus had a disk crash and never
offered a Windows version again.  I suspect he gave up on Windows at
that point no longer even has a Windows box.

I sent him a patch to fix the Windows problems, but I never heard back
from him.  I can email you the fix if you like.

I also patched the soundserver so it can play MP3s too.
