Re[2]: TB! for Linux

2011-04-01 Thread Douglas Hinds 
Hello Jernej,

Yesterday, March 31, 2011, at 12:12 PM, Jernej Simončič answered my query 
regarding:

 assuming that Evolution can't import a TB! backup file,

 I doubt there's any program other than TB which supports that format.

 I want to ask about the possibility of exporting my TB!message base to a 
 form Evolution could import.

 Just export to UNIX Mailbox - nearly every client is compatible with that.

Thanks, Jernej;  I'll give that a try. (IAC, TB! v. 3.99.3 is running very well 
under Wine on OpenSuse v. 11.4).

After I stated:

 But I am also a Linux user and strongly suggest that RIT Labs make an effort 
 to port The Bat! to this superior Operating System,

Tuesday, March 29, 2011, at 10:11 AM, Jernej Simončič replied from Poland:

 As an advanced user of both Windows and Linux, I can only disagree with Linux 
 being superior - while it has it place, and it does some things better than 
 Windows, it's still far from being a good end-user experience on a desktop, 
 both from UI and management points of view.

  so I can use it with with my OpenOffice, Opera,  Chrome, Firefox, 
 Seamonkey, Dr. Web and Nero versions for Linux (and other Unix-like 
 Operating Systems).

 OpenOffice.org, Opera, Chrome, Firefox and the Mozilla Suite were designed 
 from ground up to be portable. I don't know what Dr. Web is

DrWeb is a Moscow based company that produces Security Software (i.e. 
Antivirus, Anti Spyware and Firewall)  

http://drweb.com/

 and the last time I looked at Nero, it was using an outdated GUI library on 
 Linux.

It ran fine on LinuxMint 9 but looks for something it lacks on OpenSuse 11.4 (I 
just recently switched).

 As I understand it, porting Delphi to Linux is also possible and Windows 
 will continue to lose ground as more computer users become aware of the 
 advantages that Open Code Community Based OS's have to offer.

 While there used to be Kylix, it was never really stable, and while backend 
 code could be used with not too many changes, the GUI would have to be redone 
 completely, which is a daunting task for a program like The Bat (since it 
 uses a lot of custom controls, some of which are 3rd party; previously 
 mentioned Opera had it's GUI code rewritten from scratch when it started with 
 serious cross-platform support in version 7 - this is just not feasible for a 
 small company like RitLabs).

Unless they decided that it was worth their while - that a market large enough 
to justify the added effort was likely to develop among Linux users.

I didn't get a reply from Stef regarding this issue via direct mail some time 
ago, maybe he or Max would care to comment about it here on tbbeta (which I'm 
glad to see is posting my messages now that I've change ISP's).

IAC, thanks for your comments, Jernej.
