I assume that you're not actually asking me, but anyhow, it would be a HUGE
task.  Not really a matter of porting it since Windows basically is a program
that runs in Dos and gives you the gui that's so easy to use.  It would be more
a question of building a new Windows interface is I understand the situation
correctly.  As to why Ed's company doesn't do that, I assume there are major
financial considerations to doing that.

They did use a version of ChessPartner for a Windows interface for Tiger, and
I'm sure that that's an indication of how difficult it is to come up with a good
Windows interface.  Lokasoft has the experience in that feild, but I don't think
that Rebel does.  But they really do make some good looking Dos programs.
