We would like to port to Linux eventually, but we are concentrating on WIN32 for now.

It would be wonderful to live in a world where programmers would develop, maintain, document, distribute, and provide you with free tech support, while asking nothing in return. Unfortunately some of us have to eat. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software
