Interesting subject matter from the O/P, but practically most of the extensive discussion, including largely from the O/P, has been vaguely connected to writing BiaB for Linux.

Should I be confused?


LOL...I would say it is the user's saying in a very long winded fashion "Please don't". But that's okay. There was a lot of value in the thread.

I used Linux for a few years at home. I spent a lot of time on it. I taught myself shell programming with it and became the Unix shell programming Guru at work. I felt sort of sorry for them when I left. No one could figure out my Unix shell scripts they were so advanced. They had to hire a consultant. During the lunch when I left to go into trading the manager piped up and said "The consultant said I was probably the best Unix shell script-er in the world". That set me back. Yeah, I really dug into it. I wrote a large script program I used to build test scripts. I tested every command that existed until I fully understood it inside out and backwards. I had never done that with a programming language before. I have forgotten all that stuff now except for some of the the Unix regular expressions which I knew inside out and backwards. All I thought about for 13 years after that was market trading and database programming for that as well as MultiCharts then my database drive website using MySql. If BIAB ran on Linux I am pretty sure I could run my jams on Linux. BIAB and the web based software is probably the only thing I would consider running on Linux. I can't really see PG Music moving BIAB to Linux (the market would be too small I figure). I was just curious. Doing a bit of Linux again might be fun. My former guitar student only uses Linux. He would use BIAB I bet if it ran on Linux.
