Have you noticed that ISC has not been able to muster the resoures to 
fix the bugs in the NT port of 8.2.2 p5 over the last 5 or 6 months?

Did you see David Conrad's bounty of $250 a couple of months ago for 
anyone who could fix the bugs in 8.2.2 p5 NT port?

Have you noticed that 8.2.3 or 9 is not available for NT or W2K ?

It was only last week that Nortel Networks contributed the fixes of 
the NT 8.2.2p5 Multiple-A record bug.

There may be a BIND9 port to Win32, but from what I hear from David, 
ISC won't be doing it, for lack of Win32 resources.

Any takers?  And do a port of dig at the same time.
