I concur that the port is not trivial but should be straight forward in that the problem areas should be identifiable and concentration of effort could be placed on them. I also believe that, e.g. Chessbase, would have a really difficult time making the port. The biggest issue is where low level calls to the OS have been made. In an IDE, like Delphi, these should be minimal or at least identifiable. For anyone else reading this post, does anyone know what the breakdown of Linux vs. Microsoft is fot the participants in thie forum? My impression is that a substantial number of posters use Linux (perhaps not exclusively). Regards. Steve >First of all porting a big project from Delphi environment to Kylix is not a >trivial task.
