(Apologies for the partial send)
There is now a more or less complete version of
SLPv2 for Win32 operating systems available through
the SrvLoc web page, http://www.srvloc.org.
It is Kempf and Associates SLP. The implementation
includes:

  - Nicely packages Windows install

  - Win32 DA
  
  - SLP shell

  - UA and SA modified from the popular mini-slp
  from Erik Guttman

  - Documentation

Full LDAPv3 queries are supported.

The following are unimplemented:

  - SLPv1 compatibility

  - UTF8 except for ASCII

  - min-refresh-interval DA attribute

  - anything unimplemented in mini-slp v1.0 except
  multicast, which is fixed. 

It has been tested on Windows 95, Windows 98SE, 
Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 2000 Professional.

I have interoperability tested with Solaris SLP
and it works fine.

There is a news group for reporting bugs, 
[email-masked]. You can go to the Web
page at http://www.egroups.com/group/ka-slp to
subscribe.

I am distributing this as shareware for now beause
that is how such software has traditionally been
distributed on Windows and also I am running an
experiment in software engineering involving
statistics and I need to get accurate counts of
bugs. If I fix them all myself, then I know that
none have been missed. So report any bugs and I
will fix them.

There are lots of features I could implement, but
for now I'm going to just stick with fixing bugs
until I see whether there is much interest in it.

Note: This software was developed by Kempf
and Associates and not Sun. Sun has been gracious
enough to not give me a hard time about releasing
it, but please don't send any email about it to
my Sun address, since I don't want to use company
time on it. Use the egroups alias.
