[JDEV] Re: Conference component for win32

[Colin Bell]

Hi Frank

You are a life saver. I am currently running the Jabberd 1.4.2 win32 
distribution as found at 
http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/downloads/JabberD-1.4.2.exe. To be 
honest I've never built anything on the win32 platform only on Unix and 
even then that was shaky at best. I have tried all the available 
servers even the commercial ones and JabberD comes up the best (plus 
you cant beat the price)

All I want to do is to be able to run group chats (ie create a room, 
join, chat, leave room). So if you have a dll that I could use with the 
above server then that is all I need, or a similar version that I could 
install on a win32 system. I would like to avoid building anything If I 
can help it, but I'm not adverse to trying.

To recap, if you have a .dll that you think will fit my needs then 
thats great. Otherwise anything you can give me that could help me 
achieve my goal would be fantastic.

Thank you once again for answering, I really thought It was last cause 
for a moment.

Regards

Colin
