until after I've updated my web page)

Situation Update: (June 2005)
The MSVC port of Hercules is more or less complete. (yea!!!)
This is a pure Win32 port of Hercules and as such, does not require Cygwin at all in order to run!
It's still in 'beta' (since it's such a radical departure from our current Windows offering and required rather extensive modifications to many different areas of Hercules) and will probably remain in beta status for the next few weeks or so, but once it comes out of beta, you will then be able to run Hercules (on Windows; the Linux/Apple/etc versions of Herc haven't really changed much at all) without having to install Cygwin first! (Yea! No more Cygwin!)
Anyway, that's what I've been hard at work working on for these past few months, so now you know. :)
As far as donations totals go however, as you can see below, my income from contracting work is slowly dwindling. This is to be expected since as time goes by, my client needs less and less help (whereas initially they needed a lot of help). Thus I shouldn't have to point out (but I will anyway) that, even though I'm still earning contract income from time to time...
...voluntary donations are still very much needed and appreciated!
Thanks for understanding.

Remember, I'm not trying to get rich off this deal; I'm simply trying to survive!
My Promise to You
I hereby promise to update this page as my situation changes and donations come in (or not), and if you're one of those people who needs proof, (just to be sure I'm not making all this stuff up just to "get rich" somehow), I stand by ready and willing to work with you in providing whatever evidence you might need to satisfy yourself that what I say above is absolutely true.
