Yes - current as of 2 years ago. :-( > Is there any way to make hyperdoc, i.e., the "browse" > functionality, available under windows? > No, not at present. I think the best way of supporting hyperdoc on Windows is to use Microsoft Virtual PC (or VMware, both are free) and install a linux system on the virtual machine, then install Axiom, e.g. wh-sandbox. I use Virtual PC extensively. It works very well - especially if you have at least a dual-core machine and enough ram (at least 1 Gb.).

Of course since there is no X-windows environment of Windows, hyperdoc and graphics are not built. wh-sandbox was branched from build-improvements before the ability to build on Windows was added so, no, I don't think wh-sandbox will build on Windows at this time. It would be nice if Waldek or Gaby could merge the build-improvements branch with the wh-sandbox branch. If they could do that, I think it would form a very good basis for a new Axiom Silver distribution.
