For me, the great think about Track Designer is that it runs just fine under the
Wine Windows emulator. I've used it that way under my X86-64 Linux machine for
several layouts, including working on NALUG layouts for train shows. I've never
been able to get software from LEGO to run that way. MLCAD used to, but doesn't
anymore, unfortunately, so I've been using LeoCAD.
Matt, would you be willing to let someone try to split out the OS-dependent parts,
so that ports to other platforms are easier? I've been programming for nearly 30
years, so that's something I can likely do. I haven't really done any GUI work,
but I might be able to interest a friend of mine in working with me to do a
Linux version. Given a Linux version, versions for MacOS and the BSDs, Solaris,
etc. should be fairly straightforward.
