Here's a free VM generator. I have no idea if it can be configured to support Mixmaster: http://www.easyvmx.com/ As for the tone, it doesn't hurt to have a fire lit under one's butt sometimes. Although I agree with the 'Cypherpunks Write Code' paradigm, the other half of the coin is that if only Cypherpunks write (and use!) code then we might as well walk around with targets painted on our jackets. It wouldn't hurt to have a Win32 Mixmaster client, so long as no one doing anything important believes that it'd be all that secure. (On the other hand, f*ck 'em if they do...) -TD

If you want to run it on that Redmond stuff, then I guess you do, actually. (or run a VM, as suggested upthread).
I do need Mixmaster software that works on the Win32 platform in that last case, and that is the major, non-troll point both you and Eugen glossed over.
Didn't gloss over it. The motto 'round here is "Cypherpunks Write Code", and while it's honored more in the breach, it still stands.
Perhaps you are needy, but you picked precisely the wrong tone for your little chastisement. Getting in the collective face of the developers of the software you "need" isn't neighborly. You also forget that it's both free and Free. You want guaranteed development results? The usual process is RFQ->PO->check.
Anyone else? Why is there still no functional software for the Win32 platform?
Because \polite{Windows networking is not the best environment one could use}. The workarounds are a royal pain. And since Windows isn't the only choice anymore, a lot of us have moved on to where things aren't broken by design. (got raw sockets?)
Go the VM route. On Windows, it'll hurt the least. http://www.vmware.com/download/server/ http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/ubuntu.html -- Roy M.
