If you can download Lazarus for Windows, I feel certain that the code will compile without issues. I haven't tried it because I tossed windows off my machine a few months ago.
I'm actually running DreamLinux now. But I still use knoppix frequently (out of necessity.) For those who have downloaded it, I just fixed the linewidth bug this morning. All it needs now is text "shapes". I feel confident that I can add them. I should know in the next few days whether they can be added.
