I recently mailed FO suggesting a Linux port of their (imo, excellent)
Dylan product. I got an email back pretty quickly from someone claiming
that they are working on a Linux port.

I think that's great news.

I like Dylan, but don't care for Windows at all. Gwydion is nice but
it's going to be a long time before it competes with FO's polish.

What I'd really like to see is a collaboration between the FO folks
doing the Linux port and the Gwydion team. Sharing parts where possible
has got to be a good thing in the long run.

Best,

Kendall Clark
