Hi Will,
LCD = lowest common denominator.
Apps that simulate non-native platforms are usually not written to the
cutting edge of a native platform. I
suspect this is also the reason that there is a limitation of scripting
languages in XSI under Linux.

Hi Will,<br>
LCD = lowest common denominator. <br>
Apps that simulate non-native platforms are usually not written to the
cutting edge of a native platform. I <br>
suspect this is also the reason that there is a limitation of scripting
languages in XSI under Linux.<br>

Hi Will,<br>
Thanks for the reassurances. I like your model vision and hope you can
overcome the LCD introduced<br>
by the MainWin software component. Pls let me know if I can help test
out any distros.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

As you may know RHL support will be coming to a close at the end of
