How common is the code base between the Windows and Unix platforms?
A11: The majority of the code is written and tested first under Windows. We emulate the Windows GUI code so that the code base can be recompiled directly, and executables can be quickly updated with bug fixes found on either platform. Minor emulation discrepancies may occasionally cause problems, particularly with the non-thread safe nature of X-Windows. Please document any GUI associated problems so that we can investigate.
