I have a few thoughts on this, in no particular order, and not
necessarily arranged coherently.

+  Perhaps a "used" Windows machine would be less costly
than that particular RunRev license required to produce
cross-platform applications.

+  Have you considered html? 

+  There is some irony here.  I personally think your efforts are
important.  But apparently the product is not important enough to
your "customers" that they would be willing to exchange a few
bucks for it, and thereby support it financially. 
Yet, you are disappointed in a profit-making
corporation for not giving away the fruits of their labor for free.
Wouldn't a more logical focus of your disappointment be those
who have a vested interest in your product by way of culture and
history, rather than those who have no vested interest?
