Don't underestimate the difficulty of porting non-cross-platform apps. Look at how long it took Loki Games to port Windows games to Linux, for instance. They started coding on Jan 4 1999 (see http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2000/03/17/loki.html) and released in May (see http://apolyton.net/ctp/news/99apr_news.shtml ). That's four months, not a few days. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv _______________________________________________ Desktop_architects mailing list [email protected] https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop_architects
