It's the link on the download page, right ? It's fixed now, thanks for letting
me know. I converted the pages recently from html to php for easier maintenance
and forgot to change that link. The other link (on the left column) should have
worked though.

The viewer is made with standard C++ code and wxWindows. It is for Windows for
the moment but it should be portable under linux with minimal changes. I will
attempt a port in the next days since it you asked for it. My problem with it is
that linux has many flavours and I guess there might be some problems if I will
offer just the binaries. But I will try a port.

Indeed the viewer is commercial, I ofer the full version with 150000 nodes
limitation for free as shareware and unlimited as commercial.

Cheers,
Andrei
