When there is a significant market for Linux programs, there will be a version
of Chess Tiger for Linux very quickly. Tiger is written in C and my daily
compiler is the GnuC, so I expect the port to be easy and quickly done.
I still have to figure out how I can copy-protect my program for Linux, and how
much Linux users are ready to pay (if they are ready to pay).
