I just It's going to be an uphill battle, I'm afraid. Although we're not a Microsoft-sized software vendor :), we believe we're doing the right thing by our corporate commitment to make all our products available for Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris as well as Windows 95/98/NT. We certainly hope more companies will see a benefit to doing this as well. Porting to other platforms *is* a manageable task, if you start out writing your code with that goal in mind. Legacy Windows code may not be so easy, but one can have some hope for the future... Steve Willoughby Software Alchemy, Inc.
