Are you looking to run it on just one server, or against all the
systems on your home network? I run SWISHesi on my OpenVMS server.
I'm not sure what all SWISH-E runs on, but it looks like it supports
WinNT among others. http://swish-e.org/ I honestly have no idea
what it would take to get it to run against multiple systems as, all
I care about is running it against one drive.
