It is very easy to say: "Make you Win version Linux Okay; would you like the .tar.gz emailed to that address, or another one? In case you weren't aware, SimCoupe actually *started* as a Linux program. With source. > Another task is how Win32 programmers can exactly know what is "Linux > friendly" in C++ source? Just generally good programming practice - keep the platform-dependant stuff to a minimum of places (one "routine-library" is best), and write proper ANSI C++ rather than some bastardisation. If you do that, then code will compile cleanly with a minimum of alteration under many platforms. > I think Linux users can simply use DOS version. Or not? Why not? Because the DOS version hasn't been developed for some time. The Win32 version *is* in active development. Or are you suggesting that people should all switch to win32 just to get up-to-date code? :-) > I'm sorry for this negative mail, but I'm really frustrated of all these > Linux activists..... I'm annoyed with the people who think *everything* should be linux based, and no-one has reasons for using anything else. That's a little different, though. > "If you often say "Do this...", then you should shut up and do it yourself."
