Hi,

I know that there are some commercial organizations working on getting 
Dazuko ported to WindowsXP. But I have no idea when that will be finished 
(or if it will be available at no cost). With WindowsXP Dazuko would be 
implemented as a mini-filter. This involves using Microsoft-Proprietary 
interfaces. To use these interfaces requires a license and signing a 
non-disclosure-agreement. This means that Dazuko for WindowsXP could never 
be open source.

HOWEVER, many companies have purchased such a license and signed the 
required documents. This means that one of these companies could port Dazuko 
and release it as a binary DLL at no cost. This would be the ideal solution 
(considering the options). We will have to see what happens. Right now there 
are no proposed release dates for a WindowsXP version.

On a side note, a friend of mine is working on a 16-bit MS-DOS port of 
Dazuko. :)
