No John, I have no requirement for that right now. Our focus is re-write (and improve/re-design/new UI) our main apps into 64 bit Windows applications with 64 bit database (>2GB files). But WinDev exe files will definitely run under Linux - lots of people doing it. When you choose to build your exe you simply choose the output format; Windows exe, Java exe, Linux exe, .Net executable or assembly, web-service, etc. Same project, different run-time - click of a button.

And the WinDev HyperFile database in both direct access mode (like DBF/CDX but far, far more robust) and in Client-Server mode is available for Linux too. So you can run a WinDev app on a Windows client and access HyperFile on a Linux server, for example.

Speaking of robust - we have been working heavily on HyperFile, doing updates of tens of thousands of records into files some of which contain millions of records, testing, debugging, apps crashing - you know, the usual debugging cycles - and have not hit a single database or index corruption. There can be corruptions, and I have read posts on other forums discussing them, but I have read several ex-VFP developers saying that the HyperFile system is far more robust than DBF/CDX both in direct access mode and even more so in client-server mode.
