Yep, you're correct about only the IDE requiring windows. But PLUM itself only supports MSSQL, Access and Oracle 9i. Granted, Oracle isn't Windows-only, but it's also massively non-free. You might be able to develop on one of those, and then deploy to something else, but it'd undoubtedly be a bunch of work. cheers, barneyb On 11/13/05, Dave Watts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sadly "doesn't mind working on a windows machine" rules out > > a lot more than just Sean.
