There is no Windows version.

The code is mostly clean POSIX.  If anybody is familiar with running
POSIX/Unix code on Windows, please poke me off list.

These are my opinions.  I hate spam.

Thanks, Hal.  I am disappointed to hear that (particularly as there seems to 
have been a Windows version of NTPsec in the past), and I hope that will be 
rectified in due course, with the ability to have Windows as stratum-1 
servers.

Recent versions of Windows do have the ability to run Linux/UNIX code built 
in, without needing 3rd-party software.  Early versions of Windows NT had a 
POSIX sub-system but it was dropped.  Sadly, I have no experience with 
either, and program almost exclusively in Delphi/Pascal, not C/C++.  You may 
know that I've helped with Windows/NTP in the past, but recent errors I've 
reported have gone unacknowledged.

Cheers,
David
