Hi David, >From what I Remember when i last looked at it, WorldWind uses DirectX which will require a rewrite to run on Linux (at least Natively) Yep, found the info that I was looking for. Cmaxwell (lead developer for World Wind) posted on http://forum.worldwindcentral.com/showthread.php?t=34 "I'm the lead and (so far) only programmer behind the NASA World Wind project. I've mentioned elsewhere in the forum some of the reasons for using Microsoft based-technologies, but the basic reason is that given our extremely limited budget and resources for this educational software tool, using C# and Managed DirectX was the only way to get a deliverable out to the public in short order. We want a Linux and especially an OSX port for World Wind, and this will happen sooner rather than later. However, we are still trying to finalize certain features and functionality that are best done using our current development suite, but we want World Wind to be ported to other operating systems and we are actively seeking partnerships to accomplish this goal." "Since this is open-source, we encourage any OSX programmers to start a port and we will try our best to provide whatever resources we can towards the effort. Right now our development staff consists of one programmer and one graphics designer, but we are an ambitious duo so we will do our very best to please everyone. :-)" Sorry for the large amount of quoted text but it's all relevant :-/ Regards George ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
