Hi,
  You can take my word for it that you probably don't want to have
to do your own Windows compile. Compiling VMD itself isn't too difficult,
but you would first have to compile a large number of other packages
(FLTK, Tcl/Tk, etc...) and it can soak up a week of your time or more
if you're not already a fairly experienced Windows developer. I can
get a Windows build prepared later this week, and let you know when
it is posted.

Cheers,
  John Stone
