Hi George,
Your comment about porting CubicConverter to
Windows is something that I would love to see happen? Can anyone else on the
list advise if this has been attempted or is even possible? Before, I get the
"buy a mac mini for USD499 response, I have considered that already, and do not
disagree, but funds are too short at the moment!
Best regards,
Russell

who
knows, maybe someone will port J# too to Mono (.NET for Linux / Unix /
MacOS-X) apart from C#
my little experience on Macs is programming
with CodeWarrior for OpenDoc
some QuickTimeVR "editors" (components) back
in 1997 ;-) and some iMac usage
later on (on the not-very-poweful 1st iMac
unfortunately).

it's supposed to be a Linux tradition to
use freebe software, but on Windows
too you'll find lots of people (esp.
hobbyists) very hesitant to buy
software tools that are very specialized
(they tend to buy bigger, less
powerful and more general software suites -
the rest they expect to find
free or even clopyrighted
unfortunately)
cheers,
George
btw, is CubicConverter using
Cocoa or something that makes it harder to port
it to Windows? Would be
nice to have a command-line version in that case
combined with some simple
GUI to select params (or with some remote
web-based HTML GUI that spits
out the params to pass to the command-line
version or something). Speaking
of remote GUI, having a cheap remote
pano/cubic stitching service might be
the way to go for amateurs in the
future (would work nicely especially for
people with web-browsing
camera-enabled cellphones)
