i'd ask ignatious @ catch22bbs.com .. his website there has a linux port of renegade using freepascal.. maybe he'll share the source

the way it's ported to use xinetd it's pretty likely the easiest port to windows would involve having a synchronet bbs frontend that immediately spawned it with cioxtrn (wiki.synchro.net/howto:cioxtrn) since it likely doesn't have any serial nor socket code in it at all anymore

he's also on efnet with that same nick
