Still in pre-alpha, and we've already got our first
user request! :)

Win32 support.

This will be an interesting addition. Win32 console
only, because DOS lacks fork() and I really don't want
to have to link the supporting programs.

The most significant piece will be the packaging. I'll
need to find or create Windows versions of the
underlying support programs (rsh, ssh, rz/sz, telnet,
dialer) and also the NCurses library (PC-Curses is free
I think).

I think the next most significant work will be around
the select() calls (qodem.c) and almost all the TTY
handling (tty.c). Probably also fork() handling.

But it'll be fun and knock the rust of my Win32, so why
not?

    Windows was marginally supported in the 1.0alpha release. It is now fully supported (even serial ports!) in the github codebase.
