A program should not really care what the operating system is that it runs under. As far as a chess program is concerned, the engine has nothing to do with the operating system. It is generally written in C and at least the engine portion should be able to compile on any platform that supports C. The GUI is where the problem is and that really should not be a problem. Steve
