I was afraid that someone would ask that question someday. :-)

I began a STDWIN port to Microsoft Windows last year. Guido suggested
that I use Python to import and test the STDWIN functions, so I also
ported Python to run in a text window under Windows. It turned out to
definitely be worth the several evenings effort it took to get Python
running under Windows as it made my STDWIN test/debug/fix cycle so much
easier.

This is strictly a "g-job" project that I work on at home in my "spare"
time. I have fully implemented many of the STDWIN functions but there
is still much work remaining. I don't expect to complete the port
before mid-year: the arrival of our second child in November slowed my
progress!

I'll post an announcement to this mailing list when I complete the port.
