You must be looking at an old version. The one distributed with the
tarball says 4.2.0 as the latest.

I have successfully built ntp using VS.NET. There were quite a few
changes that I made to the configuration files to get it to build.
I haven't tried to rebuild it recently, but nothing's been changed
in that area to cause it not to build. I don't currently have a VS.NET
environment to do this on, I need to get one.

I had sent you a copy of the perl script that updates the BIND 9 builds
to use the latest version of OpenSSL. I just haven't had the time to
set it up for NTP. Using environmental variables can be problematical
when using VS. It works much better with bat scripts.

Which references? I can't imagine most of them being obsolete.

See above.
