Ronald does not distribute a windows binary, so here is a CFish that comes with one:

There is a Code::Blocks project for building a generic version (it is nice because you can visually debug very easily) and there is a version I built with his makefile.

In order to use his makefile, I had to change the exe symbol name from cfish to cfish.exe

Because the author, Ronald de Man, prefers to code in C. In addition, it makes the code "lighter" and perhaps also easier for compilers to optimize. Cfish is already faster than SF-dev, with fully equivalent serial search.
