Calum:
ok! now this is the sort of answer i wanted! so as i thought, any graphical frontend must be specific to the gui. also, that remark about a
flap:
Yes most of the work would be on the GUI, but that isn't the only OS-specific code in there. There are API calls, use of Win-specific features such as the registry etc.
But are you serious in suggesting the only reason to make software free and open is to allow portability?

winemaker
it may or maynot work, give it a shot, and be prepared to play for days to try and get it to work, best of luck
Calum:
what's winemaker? i suspect it is a linux project which uses wine code to compile 'windows sources' for use on a linux system?
i am afraid i don't tend to keep up with wine stuff since hey, i have winME when i need it (ok except it fails at the worst times!) and i am on dialup so cannot download new versions all the time (most recent wine version i have is 2 years old!)
thanks for comments though.....

It might be possible to compile and run that app on Linux. It depends on what was used to write it. Qt, FOX, and wxWindows (I think?) can be used to write apps that'll run on either platform with nothing more than a recompile. Take a look at the header files, the *.h ones. See if there are any lines that read: #ifdef WIN32, etc., #endif (or #ifdef UNIX, etc, #endif). If there are, then you've got something that can be compiled to run on Linux. All you'll need to do is get the right libs and you're good to go. And if there aren't, then it's SOL (either that or reverse engineer the sucker)
