Hi Bernard,

    I'm just looking at your product as a free alternative to "S*S".
    All the stuff I see on the site seems few years old and there doesn't
    seem to have much activity on the forums.  Is the project still alive ?

Yes, it's alive, although it's certainly true there isn't a lot of
frenetic activity.  (The last release was in 2008.  That's not *that*
long ago. :)

    If yes, did anybody tried to port this to windows ?  We would like to
    use it at work but our server is a W2K3 machine.  We have cygwin
    installed.  Would it compile with cygwin gcc and some tools ?

There are some previous messages in the archives about Windows.  Susan
(the author of dap) said then that it did work for her under Cygwin, but
not native Windows.

Hope it can be useful for you.

Best,
Karl
