Sorry, since Midgard is at the moment available only
for UNIX platforms, we distribute it only as tarballs
or platform-specific binary packages.
If you only want to look at the sources, WinZip should
be able to handle the .tar.gz compression.
You can also read the sources via a Web interface at
http://www.midgard-project.org/cvsweb.pl
There is a Windows port of Midgard under work by
the Open Server Architecture project. See their page
at http://www.opensa.org/midgard for more information.

Well, since Midgard contains PHP you can keep the
current code there and access the database with it, and
still benefit from Midgard's style handling, etc.
However, Midgard should be able to do the job, especially
with the record extension system currently being worked
on for Midgard 1.4-beta4. It will require some PHP coding,
though.

They are pretty much different in both usage and architecture.
You can find some information on the differences by reading
some of the various discussions on the topic available online:

Users have permissions based on their memberships to
different groups. They can log on and off between
sites as needed.
