[DUG] Porting Delphi code to Linux

[Edward Huang]

Wine?  I thought it was the wine you drink, such white wine or red wine.

I found some information on Wine, Wine Doors etc.  It's sounds pretty
promising.  Would you need to pay CAL or client license to Microsoft?

By the way, web app can't really replace all client applications, although
it has lots of other benefit.  All web applications inherit its own
limitation.

Looked at Wine?

I wouldn't do this. You're much better off to rewrite using a web app.

Won't run on modern platforms.
