11 -The WebObjects frameworks are part of the Xcode tools distribution (available on the Mac OS X DVD, or as a download from Apple, see below) which cannot be installed on a Windows (or any Linux/UNIX variant) machine directly. So, before developing on Windows, you will need to get access on a Mac, make a archive of the frameworks and move this archive to your Windows machine. You can extract the frameworks from XCode without having to install them on the intermediate Mac.

75 75  That should be it, I think?  The things that are problematic right now on Windows:
76 -1) The ##woproject/.patternset## don't work quite right on Windows with older versions of WOLips. If you don't have subfolders in your Resources/Components/etc, you can work around it by converting ##Components~/~//etc/## to ##Components/##**, same w/ Resources and WebServerResources. Alternatively you can use a recent nightly build of WOLips where this bug has been fixed.
