Oddly, I am missing the original message that Eric replied to, so I
don't know if there's more context or not. Forgive me if I'm speaking
out of turn, but:

There is excellent Visual Studio support for all the simlators. Mark
works hard to ensure that they all build cleanly on Windows with
settings that target Windows XP and higher. He can speak more to the
details of the current requirements, I'm sure.

I'm not a regular Windows user, but I have successfully used Visual
Studio Community 2017 to compile several of the simulators.

If you're interested in looking at the code or playing around with it,
and you're using Windows, I definitely encourage you to give it a try.
