As far as I can tell, the main issue under Windows would be concurrency. There is a POE engine, which can work as a single threaded solution. Other than that, what's wrong with using Windows to talk to Linux ? If your screen reading applications are so awesome, then use them through putty to be able to access a linux shell ! You can also fairly well develop under windows if you choose. Samba works, you know. You can access a Linux filesystem from Windows without any trouble at all (and there are VNC clients and servers under linux as well) I'm not blind, but I work all the time on Unix machines from a windows station, at work, without any trouble at all. I believe you will have to invest some time into figuring things out, but I don't think the barrier is all that great, with a little ingenuity. _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
