It was not supposed to be taken too seriously. I guess I should have added a smiley, such as ;) Yes, if someone wants to port something that is Open Source to another OS, even Windows, there is nothing to stop that from happening, not much to do about it. I just think that there are enough software to Windows already... =) Actually I have started to program things too these days (I was actually studing C/C++/Fortran/Pascal about 20 years ago, but I won't release my source code, at least not yet. I don't want everybody to see what a lousy programmer I am... =D J.R.
