But I didn't find anything. hmm? Why did you decide to make this a desktop application, and not a website application? I'm guessing that you may have published it for Windows only because of issues around the installation process. I haven't tried creating any sort of install packages in Windows, or Linux, so I am completely in the dark about those things. But, by putting the application on the web, install issues disappear, and you might get more hits on your site. -- Joel Goldstick
