Update Information: November 19, 2013
There's also a new version of Pedone available... well, maybe the same version, technically, but new compiles, including a 32 bit compile.

Update Information: November 19, 2013
Hi Tony,
Norbert emailed me about the Pedone Win32 build, and I thought I had simply missed this information the first time I posted it. I will post the Pedone Win32 build in tonight's update announcement.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Ron
