[edit] Does it not work on GNU/Linux?

This sounds like a useful application, but the article says it only works on MS Windows. Could anyone elaborate in the article on why it is not available for other platforms such as GNU/Linux? Thanks. --Gronky (talk) 17:33, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm guessing because it uses Windows libraries for such things as displaying graphics, and nobody has bothered to port it to using another library such as Qt or Gtk. And I can imagine that part of the reason for that is so that it works easily on PDAs, without having to install Qt/Gtk/whatever first (since their memory is a bit more constrained) -- and because the program was intended to scratch the author's itch, which was MS-Windows. Feel free to fork, since it's GPL. -- pne (talk) 13:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
