 (At points in the past) I have seen evidence
that there were at least 2 "Windoze versions" of the suite.

(As mentioned in previous threads, the result is a lot of grousing
and bug re****ts on things that are user errors.)

There _are_ currently Windows versions out there running.
What there _isn't_ is a "Windoze installer".
Each Windoze user has to *compile* executables for himself.
As that weeds out a lot of the folks who have low software skills,
it minimizes the occurances of Clueless Windoze User Syndrome.

As the elements of the gEDA suite are written as Unix apps,
there will always need to be
an intermediate layer at *some* point in the process
--even if what you want to end up with
are **native** Windoze-compatible executables.

So, how is the speed with your level of horsepower?
