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.
Given the reports that its using MFC, it would be easier to rewrite a new
version from scratch than to port the existing one.

If Matt or someonelse rewrite the code (open sourced or not) I would suggest to
use a framework that is available to most of the OS like Qt or GTk. That way it
would be really easy to port to all OS not just the most known. Wine is working
fine for now but if TD is recompiled with the new visual C..., will it still run
thru wine?

Open source would be realy realy god.

Anyway, a big thank you Matt for your work with TD.

Martin

(...) My understanding is that the new Wine supports the .NET framework using MONO (open source implementation of nearly all of .NET). I think it is older programs, and game-like programs (like LEGO's designer) that it has trouble with. -Chris Gray (16 years ago, 7-Nov-08, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.general)
