TreePad for Linux: roadmap

Our main tool for creating Linux programs has been terminated by its manufacturer, Borland. Borland's Kylix was a promising tool to create GUI applications (programs with a Graphical User Interface) on Linux, but no more than that. Unfortunately, before being able to fulfill that promise 'to the max' Kylix was discontinued. In other words: all support, bugfixes and further development of Kylix has been terminated by Borland.

Needless to say, this is a heavy blow for all companies and individuals who have invested time and money in Kylix-based projects on Linux.

Because of this we are working on our own cross-platform programming framework which will make it possible to create native TreePad editions for a variety of operating systems including Linux, MAC/Intel, PDA and Windows using the principle "Create once, compile anywhere". The first concrete results in this area are expected in 2008.

How to run ALL TreePad
Windows versions on Linux

Virtualbox Freeware, open-source virtual Machine for Windows, Linux, MAC. It supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4 and 2.6), and OpenBSD.
Runs all TreePad editions on Linux including TreePad X Enterprise.

VMWare Using this excellent emulator you are able to run all current TreePad Windows versions on Linux, including the Enterprise Editions. Solid emulation comes at a price though ($299), but enables you to run most other Windows software on Linux as well, and saves you the price of an extra PC.

Serenity Virtual Station $ 99.00. Versatile emulator, which enables one to run Windows XP, Windows NT or even OS/2 on a PC which is "running Linux". Supported host including Linux, FreeBSD, Windows, and IBM OS/2 - eComStation. Guest operating systems support includes Linux, Windows, and IBM OS/2 - eComStation.

Win4Lin also offers good emulation on Linux, but reduced compatibility compared to VMWare.
Still, for $89.99 Win4Lin is able to run these TreePad versions for Windows on Linux: TreePad Lite, TreePad PLUS, TreePad SAFE and TreePad Business Edition. It likely that Win4Lin also runs TreePad X Enterprise, but we have not yet received any feedback on this from users.
