A friend of mine who runs M$ told me about Shrinkto5. I looked on their website and it says they are looking for linux developers to help them get a linux version released, since all they know is programming for M$. I thought I'd bring this to everyones attention since it is open source and they are anxious (and disappointed the linux response is slow) for some help getting the ball rolling for us ahem"other" OS people. The forum on the website only shows a couple of linux devs that have volunteered, the rest are like me and have no programming experience. I figured this was probably the most appropriate forum for this, if not my apologies.

Tell them to stop using win32 and start using wxwidgets or another great library like that.

It's not that hard to learn something like wxwidgets or another open source library that compiles on all platforms. Besides, wxwidgets does everything win32 does, and more for all operating systems.
