If you need igate or other radio-interfacing features, aprsc is not for you.
If you need to run a server on Windows, aprsc is not for you. Sorry!
A word of caution

The aprsc software is brand new, under active development, and release
cycles are currently very quick - be ready to upgrade on a short notice when
new versions are announced. Like any new software, aprsc is likely to
contain new bugs, and some upgrades might have a high priority.

If you're not prepared to upgrade often, please wait for a few months, it
should be more peaceful then. Documentation is not there yet, either, but
if you're an experienced APRS-IS server operator, there should be no big
surprises around.
The Windows version of aprsc is very new, it has only been tested on a
couple of servers, so it is more likely to contain interesting "features"
than the Linux / Unix builds.

It does not, and will not, have any additional functions such as igating,
digipeating, interfacing to radios, D-PRS or other gateway functions, or

relatively simple and lean, and leave the more specialized features for more
specialized software.

If you need a nice, compact igate software for Linux, please take a look at
either aprsg, aprx, or aprs4r. If you need to run an APRS-IS server on
Windows or some other platform not supported by aprsc, or if you need the
features existing in javAPRSSrvr which are missing from aprsc, javAPRSSrvr
is the right choice for you - it's got a lot of good features that many of
you need, and it works on virtually all operating systems. If you need an
igate for Windows, APRSIS32 should be good.
