Hi, Is there any version of OpenFlow tool for Windows?

Thanks

Ah, thought that might be the case.

Ouch, that seems like it's a level of complexity too far for my current
requirements.

Many thanks for the information Dieter, I came across the OpenFlow project
<http://www.zope.org/Members/vds/OpenFlow> and have started looking at
that.
The main reason is (from a cursory glance) the workflow part can be run
separately from the CMF.

If anyone has some experience with OpenFlow, I'd appreciate some advice.

Cheers
Tone.
