I gave up hope for a port of engines other than Hiarcs long ago. (And I lost
hope concerning Hiarcs8 two weeks ago as well) I doubt that the programmers/
companies of these engines plan to port their software to another OS an the same
platform (yes, Linux :P). A port to another _platform_ is even more unlikely. (I
assume the software is full of asm-written stuff to be 0.x% faster than the
opponent. ;)

While I like the new OS (and use it since more than 6 months now as primary OS)
I don't think that the market is bigger than it was with the old MacOS.

Daniel
