MIchael:

I am a technical writer. Porting to Linux would be initiated by marketing.
I don't think that they would even know how to spell Linux, although
someone high-up did look at Linux a couple of years ago and concluded 'Not
yet'.  When Bill Wisse asked a similar question on the Moneydance list
recently, this is how I replied.

Regards,
Hedley
