Jamie,
You've won the free beer and the thanks of many people. This is a
milestone. The new windows.zip is attached. If anyone doesn't know, you
will get a 32-bit or 64-bit dll and lib according to which compiler you
are using.
I've been having some trouble with my svn working copies. Could someone
put this in svn, please?
Thanks,
John
