No. Xmcd was developed to be an application for the X window system, which is found on most UNIX workstations as well as OpenVMS. Although there are products that turn your MS-Windows or MacOS desktop into a networked X display, there are currently no way of running an X application natively on these platforms. For MS-Windows users, you might want to look into one of the applications listed on the Gracenote web site ( http://www.cddb.com/ ) Better yet, convert to Linux, FreeBSD or one of the other UNIX flavors!
