You need to download the current source from CVS and compile it.

Eh, that's not true stigmatine. I've helped a bunch of folks get it running. I even maintained a seperate distribution for the VC6 crowd for a long time, until DKAA provided the make file.

swest87: Currently MQ is "source only", meaning you can't just download and run it. You have to download and compile the source code, and that means you have to have a copy of either Visual C++ 6.0 (VC6), or Visual C++ .NET (referred to here as either VC.NET or VC7).

I began a project ages ago to port everything over to a freeware compiler, but got sidetracked on fixing other issues and never got very far.

If you have the compiler, I'll try to talk you through the rest.
