Hi Steven,

MegapovXRS is linux-based. What platform do you use?

Thanks, same here. I'm trying to work out how to best handle the many 
library dependencies and also getting some bugs out (eg. transferring 
the rendered images works over a LAN but not always over the net). It 
can be difficult. Due to the use of libraries there's a substantial 
amount of code that I didn't write, yet still have to debug along with 
my own code when something goes wrong :)
