I am also interested only in windows.

Now I will duck behind a barricade.
Charlie:

You're a darling laddie, but a) not in the software development business, and what I know about what makes Sigil tick would rattle around inside a peanut shell, and b) I actually think--although I could be wrong--that Valloric's original TOS or license specifically prohibited that, didn't it? And, seriously--I could be wrong about that. That's what I think were the stipulations, but I'd have to go back and look. I know he never objected to private forkage, but I think--think--that he didn't want forked commercial product. Think.

If we fork it, I'll just go find someone who can work with it, and tweak it as we need it. I'm in no position--I'm really not--to provide paid software or software support. I'm not. I just don't have the manpower or the resources to do a decent job of it--which tells you how much blood sweat and tears user_none has put in this past year or so.
