It certainly isn't dependent on SVGAlibs. As for Linux, well, it comes from DOS, so I'd say no, it isn't _very_ dependent. We got it also running on SCO unix, but we didn't pursue that line of development (yet). Porting it to freeBSD shouldn't be too hard. you can do 2 things : 1- use the C runtime library (that's how we got started on Linux, and, after that, on SCO unix) 2- use the syscalls unit. (little bit more involved, I suppose) If you want to start on it, let me know, I'll do what I can to help. Michael. --------------682CECB9F--
