Chris - Thanks so much for your suggestion to visit _www.rekallrevealed.org_
(http://www.rekallrevealed.org) . I just read over the entire site, and it
does not appear that there is a free Windows automatic install package for
Rekall, and I am really not in a position to attempt to take some kind of
source code and attempt to generate a windows package, especially if it would all
be done for me for a reasonable $60 (I forget exact price). Or, am I
mistaken regarding a free windows version of Rekall?

You know there is a free version of Rekall as well as the paid for one
do you? Take a look at http://www.rekallrevealed.org

No, sorry, you're probably right. I dabbled in Rekall a few months
ago when I was trying to move an Access application to my Linux system
so didn't look at the Windows aspects of Rekall.

However there is yet another site:-
http://www.totalrekall.co.uk

At that site a Windows version is downloadable and only costs $25 if I
have read it correctly.

I think there was some sort of (rather acrimonious) split between the
people who now run both www.totalrekall.co.uk and www.rekallrevealed.org
and the people who run www.theKompany.com.
