I was forced to switch because fptex isn't developed any further by Fabrice. I'd preferred fptex because it was more tetex like than miktex. Unfortunately I'm not a programmer and don't know how to compile successfully pdftex on a windows system. But maybe you can try to run a standalone version of pdftex on http://pdftex.sarovar.org/djgpp/ (the latest sources of pdfTeX can be found at http://pdftex.sarovar.org/src). I've attached a how-to by Thanh. When you run this version it shows you a version number which should not confuse you -- it's the same as 1.21a actually.
