Hi Matthias, the gnokii website has binary downloads for Win32 platforms 
here: http://gnokii.org/download/gnokii/0.6.x/win32/ you probably need 
the latest version (gnokii-0.6.6-win32.zip).

Gnokii on Win32 works pretty much the same as it does on Un*x varients, 
all the command line parameteres are the same, the high level protocol 
code is the same, and the file I/O is similar: the main changes are in 
the driver layer where the Win32 COMM API is used for serial ports, and 
Windows Sockets for IrDA (and Bluetooth if I ever get a BT dongle :)

Phil.
