In that case, there are a couple of things you might want to check out. I can’t speak in depth on either as I haven’t used them personally.

I'm hoping a lot of them have Windows versions or clients attached, but until I embark on the analysis phase, I'm assuming that some of them won't (not wanting to be unpleasantly surprised and all that). That's why I was trying to see if there was a way of doing Linux apps (in general) to Windows clients. I understand that currently lacking the specifics of the applications and particularly the Linux platforms in use limits any possible useful answers to the question, however. :-) On 15 December 2014 at 11:45, Melvin Backus <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: That really depends on which specific applications. A great many of them have direct Windows support. -- There are 10 kinds of people in the world... those who understand binary and those who don't.

Obviously I can deliver Windows apps to Linux clients quite easily using Citrix or the like....but how would I go about doing it the other way? I saw someone recommending using Spoon combined with Cygwin, but I was wondering if there was any way that Linux apps could be packaged or streamed to a Windows client device?
