Maybe for the core stuff but for the UI, i.e. the vast majority of the code, they'd have a lot to do. Unless current protools is already based on some portable toolkit, which I highly doubt - given the history of the app I would bet there's a pile of code for MFC, another pile for Cocoa or whatever it's called, and a pile of reusable cross-toolkit stuff in the middle. Supporting a third platform would mean either moving everything to a cross-platform toolkit or adding a third huge pile of toolkit-specific code. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
