Thanks to all who replied to my question.  I am pleased to know this little gem hasn't been abandoned; I just love its functionality and convenience and would have kept using it anyway. 
I appreciate the prompt response and I will definitely get my name on your User's List.

Sincerely,
Bethany

Hi Bethany,

I'm including you on my response since you are not a member of the Users
list. I recommend you join it if you are interested in the ongoing
development and support of DQSD. We are currently in the process of
alpha-testing the 4.0 branch, already resolves much of the XP trouble
many have faced, and it also has ballooned the number of included
"searches" to well over 300. At current count I believe there are about
375, and I have another 10 or so left in my upload queue, waiting for
CVS to work properly again.

You can still see the latest stable build (3.1.9.2) on the DQSD.net
homepage here:
  http://www.dqsd.net/
Which soon, hopefully, will be replaced by the 4.x build.

Bethany,

John is correct, it hasn't been abandoned by any means.  Kim 
and others have done the lion's share of the build/release 
work over the last couple of years while some of us have been AWOL.  

Is there some feature you really wish it had that it doesn't 
have now?  That's usually how improvements on this little 
proggie happen, a user suggests a change and someone has 
enough interest in the same feature to dig in and make it happen.

Personally, I still use it several times a day.  But I'm busy 
enough with life and other projects (that pay better), and am 
content enough with its functionality to simply use it, and 
usually avoid the temptation to enhance it.

Glenn

incorrect.
 
though the main developers have become very busy over 
      
recent years.  but
    
there is some work on releasing a 4.0 version that uses a 
      
hosting DLL to
    
help work around some security issues introduced by WinXP SP2.
 
also, DQSD is so feature rich, there haven't been many 
      
fresh ideas proposed
    
or implemented lately and development has basically taken 
      
on a maintenance
    
posture.  the only thing i wish DQSD could do that it 
      
doesn't do now is mow
    
my lawn.

Hi,
Am I correct in assuming that this software has become 
      
abandonware?  There
    
have been no updates for quite a long time now.  I have 
      
really enjoyed using
    
it and hate to see it go.

Sincerely,
Bethany
