I did subscribe to the dev list and I emailed Stefano individually. I
thought someone would be excited about this and email me back.

Well I was able to send the email to the dev list before.  Did someone
unsubscribe me. I just started with this list and I said a few days
ago that I was going to pick up the task of writing the windows
install utility.

Thanks! I have always found all my fellow beings quite helpful be it a
procmail list or some java related list.

Absolutely. The only thing is that I am using a setup utility that
builds this executable. I can provide the project file for it if you
wish but a special setup utility may need to be used to read the
script.

If that is unworkable I can begin with the VC++ version of it ASAP.
