I've been using this little gem for years now.
At times it was lost due to a disk crash or even an entire system crashing, but I always downloaded it and installed it on the new disk/system.
I've kept journals on all sorts of things with this little application, even on plans/code for websites of mine, and it helped me keep years worth of details on an ongoing roleplay.
But now I'm hoping I can get it to run under Linux, as I'm finally switching all my computers to a few different distro's.
The way I see it there are a few possibilities that I'll be checking out;
- It ends up working "out of the box".
In other words, the Linux distro's in question don't have any issues with running this little app.
I haven't done any thorrough checking but I'm thinking there's enough of a chance for that to happen.
- It'll need Wine or some other little helper.
No big deal, I know my way around such things too.
- It'll need hours and hours of debugging, modifying, adding code, and more just to find out it won't work.
Been there and done that for other software :p
If that's the case, I'll see if I can find or make some other program that can work with the .dia files (and the passwords I got on several of mine).
Maybe it won't work out and my old journals will be gathering dust - I hope not, I love this software but I am so fed up with the crap of my four Windows machines that I'm going completely Penguin.
Whatever happens, I just wanted to say thanks, at last, for this brilliant little gem...
Fantastic little app, hope to make it work under Linux.
