Innovatronics no longer is developing anything for any platform. They had
plans to work with john potter to develop Opus for windows, but according
to Tim at Innovatronics, this fell through.
As an alternative you may want to check out a shareware attempt at porting
Opus to windows. THe name of the program escapes me at this moment.
It is written by n Opus user from California. I think it was called
Magic directory or something similar. Check the popular windows FTP
sites for MAGIC???.zip. I tried it out at one time during my 'quest
for winopus' It was ok, but no match for Opus. worth looking
at however. If you register it the author will not only
send you the latest and greatest, but a gold nugget as well. At least
that's what the docs say.
