  Hello !

  In principle, nothing prevents you from installing Tioga on Windows.
What you need, in addition to a Ruby interpreter, is a C compiler
(Mingw, http://www.mingw.org/ should do fine) and a pdflatex
installation (MikTex should also do, see http://miktex.org/).

  Unfortunately, as none of the developers are working with Windows,
none of us have tried and have a foolproof way to install it. However, I
have tried installing it with a Cygwin installation
(http://www.cygwin.com/). If you install Cygwin, and therein Ruby, gcc
and tetex (or texlive, whichever is in now), the installation from a
Cygwin bash shell proceeds exactly like on Unix-like systems.

  If you manage to get Tioga working on a Windows box without Cygwin on,
we'll be very interested to know precisely how you did !

  Cheers,

	Vincent
