Gerbv-2.0.1 for Windows released, but not working!

[rickman]

A while back I looked at Gerbv as a possible tool for verifying XYRS
files. At the time I found that the windows version of this program
did not work well enough to actually be useful. I posted about this
in the geda mailing list and someone there tried helping a bit, but I
don't recall ever getting a version that worked.

Is there a working version of Gerbv 2.0x for Windows?

The version number has not been bumped since then:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33921
One assumes the answer is "No meaningful changes".

There are versions other than the official one. There is at least one
person who works on the windows version, but it has not seen much
work. In addition, the main reason that I wanted to use Gerbv was to
view XYRS files and Gerbv does not do a good job of that. In fact, I
believe it does not display the data correctly.
