EuKa contains something similar, but for Linux it unfortunately uses
"exu.exe" instead of only "exu". 
This .exe at the end is just DOS/Windows thinking, sorry.

I'm glad when it is useful for you. Please feel free to tell me any
suggestions or further requirements.

The bug that you reported should be fixed now. Also, I changed some demo
programs. The programs 'hellolnx' and 'release_hello' (hopefully) will
run on Linux.
I don't have access to Linux, so I can't test it. Maybe you can test
this version 1.11 alpha, before I send it to the User Contributions Page?
That would be very nice, it is available here:

Thanks, and best regards,
