For all of you that may be interested in running GPL under Linux. Transgaming is building a DirectX implementation for Linux. GPL doesn't work at the moment, but its possible if we show enough interest. I've added GPL to their games database and If you subscribe to TransGaming, you can log in and rate the popularity of GPL! The subsription is $5 for 1 month of downloads, support, and voting rights. I think this is a small price to pay if we can finally get GPL to run under Linux.

I've already given this a considerable amount of thought. To be perfectly honest I don't see how, in a democratic popularity vote of Linux geeks, GPL would ever stand a chance in hell, you, me and Uwe notwithstanding. I'd gladly pay them $100 for a working Linux implementation, but I'm not really willing to pay them $60 over the course of the next year for little more than the right to beg them to do it. I can do that for free. KFG
Let them know about the other games that use the GPL engine - NASCAR 4 and N2002. I think once any of those three games gets ported, the other two should come quickly. Milhouse "Kevin F. Gavitt" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
