Here is a Win32 port: ftp://38.168.214.175/pub/Popeye/popeye.ZIP You have to use the horrible Popeye language to use it. But since it plays fairy chess, there is really no way around it. I would be interested to see how it does on the remaining "tough" 9 move checkmate problems. It does have some very clever ideas implemented (e.g. dynamic hash tables!) but I am much too lazy to set up and interpret problems in the Popeye language.
