Any thoughts of moving to a portable UI toolkit? I love Ciderpress, but
unfortunately cannot run it :-(

Much of CiderPress could be moved to something like wxWidgets fairly
quickly; the more MFC-like the toolkit, the easier the conversion.
However, there are a few components that would be awkward.  One example
is the file viewer, which is really just a RichEdit control that I dump
text and graphics into.

So yes, I've had thoughts, but it looks to be a substantial bit of work.

What about using the Wine development tools to create a Linux version. They are supposed to help with this type of porting.
