Has anyone tried to estimate the work involved in redoing CPRS for Linux - I mean complete with the RPC or else it does not make sense. A wild guess without seriously looking under the hood - I think something like 3-5 man years will be needed to port it for freedom from Windows. But then if someone has attempted it, or made a better estimate, and would be open to working together, we could look at partnering. The other model is an Open Source one. Anyone interested?
