Unfortunately, I've no Windows system available right now and won't be able to setup one in the coming days. If nothing moves on the Ferret and/or Ruby side next week, I'll take time to try and build Ferret on a fresh Windows system. I'll get back to you at that time to let you know how it goes and get some help if I'm stuck. > > Sorry this isn't exactly good news but at least there is still a chance > something will turn up sooner or later. > > Chad.
