There are currently no plans for that, the GUI is totally based on 
Borland's VCL and porting it to other platforms would require a complete 
rewrite of it with some other windows library.

I really don't know (I know nearly nothing about what makes an 
application wine-friendly). I think the only way to find out is to give 
it a try...

I'd say native import of SDL is a significant thing.

Have a look at FreePascal. It's a Delphi alike for Linux. Still in the works
but coming along at an amizing pace

Hi Ger,

FreePascal wouldn't help much since the application is written in C++ 
and compiled with Borland C++ Builder (except for some third part 
components that are written in Delphi).

Best regards,
Hugo.

Kylix would be the way to go. But, as I mentioned, the real problem is 
the heavy dependency of the application on Borland's VCL (Visual Control 
Library). VCL is not supported by Kylix.

Best regards,
Hugo.

	Well, I haven't installed it so I can't say how complete it is, but
there sure are VCL-related headers and libraries in the Open Edition
of Kylix for Linux:

/include/vcl/BindHelp.hpp
/include/vcl/Classes.hpp
/include/vcl/Contnrs.hpp
/include/vcl/ConvUtils.hpp
/include/vcl/DateUtils.hpp
...
/include/vcl/qworkspace.hb
/include/vcl/qworkspace.hhk
/include/vcl/sysclass.h
/include/vcl/syscomp.h
/include/vcl/syscurr.h
/include/vcl/sysdyn.h
/include/vcl/sysmac.h
/include/vcl/sysopen.h
/include/vcl/sysset.h
/include/vcl/systdate.h
/include/vcl/systobj.h
/include/vcl/systvar.h
/include/vcl/sysvari.h
/include/vcl/ta.h
/include/vcl/wstring.h

Hello,
I work at present on the development of a software of animation of
graphics(handwrittings) POV-RAY. It seems to me that you of your
quoted(esteemed) work the same subject.
Can be would be he(it) interesting that we compare our approaches and can be
even put some in common.
Regrettably I do not speak English!
If you consider that we can communicate on this subject I am ready to
expose(explain) you the main lines of my project and to make for you by
his(her) state of progress(promotion).
In the hope of an answer of your part.
Cordially Roger Robin

Hi Roger,

I'm always interested in interacting with other programmers, especially 
someone working on a similar project.
But unfortunately I do not speak french :-(

Best wishes,
Hugo.
