Use of Rapier / RPier

I didn't have a chance to look at Rapier until recently.  And, as is
often the case, the opportunity to learn new tools comes from a need,
where things in my existing toolbox don't quite fit.  

Is there a place it is being maintained other than
http://code.google.com/p/rapier/, or does it still work pretty well (and
on which versions of Windows).  

The package on code.google.com shows that it is missing files when run.
What does that mean, from a practical view, from people who use rapier?
I am ignoring those things for now.  But I wonder if Rapier is worth
learning, or if I should look for a better live incident response tool
that gathers some initial stats. (And is there one?)
