Well, yes. But you'll have to get an X server that works nicely with it.
All the win32 X servers I used don't like reporting Shift+<Arrow>
correctly.

And it's a somewhat old binary... but you could just use the libraries in
the package (which are current 'nuff) and the latest client source,
recompile (Just Type Make) and let that be it. You'll also need a copy of
Cygwin (www.cygnus.com). I don't have a win32 box with which to update it
myself.

Anyhow, tell me where to UL the thing (the effing' admins have started
rotating our IPs every few days, so I can't give you somewhere to pull it
from).
