0.9.9 windows installed here, and worked right out of the box, as did fgrun. Fgrun needed a little updating to make it work a bit better with MP; Fred did that, and it's fine now. I don't see any bug reports here or on the devel list. It also compiled and ran right out of the box under Cygwin. If it hadn't everyone would have certainly heard about it from me. What's your beef? Perhaps we could help if you told us the problem.
