[CS-FSLUG] Mac to Linux: Bible Software

	Not likely, brother. But, maybe someday. I've kept my hands in Linux  
during my whole time in the Mac world, of course (as this list's  
server testifies).

	Do you know what they use?

	Probably one of the best things I have going on the Mac is that I  
keep Accordance open when listening to a lecture or writing a paper. I  
pop in there, find a Greek word of interest, triple click it and have  
immediate access to the two foremost lexicons (BDAG and Louw & Nida).

	This, to me, seems like a major opportunity in Linux. After all,  
Linux is perfect for third world laptops, and many of those Christians  
in those countries could make use of powerful Bible tools.

	I'd like to see a WINE-like interface for Cocoa and Carbon apps. I'd  
suspect translating the much more publicly known APIs to Linux would  
be easier (thanks to GNUstep, etc.) would be easier than Win32 was.  
And now that most apps are Universal...
