You can probably be quite sure that somewhere on this planet, it already
exists in Linux format. Unfortunately, Linux software is all sold at very
low price (like word perfect for Linux), so Bruker would only get away with
it if they more or less gave the software away, something that I can't see
happening in the near future.
What I would like as a compromise, is to see XWinplot in Linux format - that
shouldn't be too painful - and would be very useful (for me at least).
