A few months back, I was playing around with Cygwin (right after gMFSK added Olivia and when there was NO graphical Windows Olivia program), and had it "almost" running with Cygwin and the Cygwin GTK libraries. It was going to be bare-bones (i.e. built without gnome and hamlib functionality), but it was looking promising. The Cygwin soundcard interface allows using the soundcard as a *nix device -- ioctls, etc. (that's how the original Olivia code did it), and GTK is supported... so it's really not that unlikely. Unfortunately, I've just been time-constrained and not had much time to play on the computer much (including the MT63-ARQ project). Too many other obligations (work, family, church, MARS, RACES, ARES) requiring my time.
