Hi,

Yes, it's being programmed in ANSI C (well, I'm not sure about the 
ANSI stuff, but hey, who cares :-)

So porting to Linux or whatever platform is definitely an option, 
though I'm using some tricky MS-DOS calls. But these can easily be 
replaced by MAX/LINUX system calls or maybe even by C-calls (I'm a 
bit lazy in checking all C-libraries :-)

Porting requires of course the distribution of the source code. I'm 
still struggling on that one, you know: stuff like GNU and so on. I 
have no problem to publish the source code (in fact I like open 
source) but the way I should do it is not clear to me yet... I have 
to check the possibilities. 

Regards,
