Hi Ricardo,

I have asked the same question.  And Chess Assistant turns out to be one of
them.  Easily?  Not positive.  But it was written with Borland's Delphi, and
Kylix is the environment for Linux.  I have asked CA a few times if they are
going to come out with a Linux version but it seems to always come down to
demand.  Apparently, there just isn't any.  There was another post recently
concerning a willingness to purchase a Linux version of Shredder if it were
available.  I have expressed a willingness to purchase to CA for Linux if were
available.  But nothing yet.  In the interim, I am using SCID and Crafty on
Linux and to tell the truth, don't miss that much from the commercial programs.
