Hi, David

Sorry, I don't know of any Windows version which is less that one year
old. You would miss many new features, as well as many important
software fixes.

However, I am currently preparing an up-to-date Cygwin version, which
will be installed with the Cygwin Setup program. If you are not familiar
with Cygwin (www.cygwin.com), it is a collection of Linux software which
runs on Windows thanks to a special software layer. I hope my Cygwin
version of gEDA, when ready, will be part of that collection, if the
Cygwin folks accept it. I also hope I can keep up so it doesn't become
obsolete as well.

On the other hand, with some basic Linux skills, you can compile a
Cygwin version yourself right now, by following the instructions at

Regards,
Cesar
