Perhaps I misunderstand the intent of your mail. Is the source not as sufficient for windows users to compile as it is for *nix users?
Are there pre compiled versions for *nix and not windows up there? When I looked only the src distribution was made available. What is the super secret conspiracy location you are using?
The source dist was released early because of the DoS condition and binary builds will be available shortly following. If there is something I am missing here please let me know.
If anything I think the source only release strongly states that windows users are regarded as equals. If you need assistance getting it compiled on windows I would be happy to help.

Well, it seems that Sourcefire has done it again. Can you tell us WHY you (Sourcefire) have updated Snort for UNIX only? Are the powers to be sending a message to the Windows users telling them that there environment is less important? Apparently Marty needs to step in and see to it that the Windows Pre-Compiled binaries are made available at the same time as the UNIX releases. This is a VERY old subject and I can remember it from 5 years ago. Is it not time that Sourcefire puts some validity to the use of Snort in the Windows environment. Sourcefire needs to do this by releasing timely updates, not only for UNIX, but for Windows, and at the same time. Kindest regards, Michael...
