I recompiled a version without the version checking. You can get it
here http://bbwin.sourceforge.net/download/cluster.zip. The function
to check version was not up to date and I don't think it is really
useful. It seems that Microsoft made some changes on the GetVersionEx
function on Windows 2003 R2 and Vista, so it is simpler to skip that
test. cluster.exe will fail if it can't find the clusapi.dll or if no
cluster is configured which is enough.

Let me know if it works better or not,

Thanks, and no, the bbwin mailing list is not dead, I'm really late on
answers I know that :-)

Etienne.
