Hi Marc,
don't know exactly, but you might contact Stewart Greenhill
or try out his (alpha grade) H2O, which actually has a
brand new backend for CP. You will need OOC installed
on a Linux box (see
http://www.uni-kl.de/OOC/).
Although that might seem to be some deviant work
it went quite easy for me. Maybe Stewart might be able
to provide you an Win32 executable (he is working
as a consultant, even so he has an university e-mail
address, but he does a lot of consulting for science,
so he might appreciate ....).
Enclosed are two (partially shortened) mails by Stewart.
regards
Bernhard
