Jaqui, If it WERE that easy why wouldn't these ports to Linux NOT be done? If it doesn't take that long and they can get a few more sales, then why not? Lightwave hasn't been ported after ALOT of people have requested it. Why not if it's that easy? Again, I know NOTHING about programming. But... I would guess that if WERE that easy it would have already been done. It would be interesting to see what CL would say.
