The current versions of PaperCut were written from scratch to be cross-platform and support all major operating systems. Back in 2005 we started afresh, putting aside the current Windows-only code base and started over again. This represented a huge investment, but the end result is that all platforms share a common code base and have an identical feature set. We follow a similar development philosophy to major cross-platform projects such as Firefox, and synchronize platform releases. This ensures that one platform is never left behind.

PaperCut screen-shots show a “$” currency symbol. My country uses a different symbol. PaperCut fetches the currency format from the Operating System’s “locale” settings. The region can also be manually overridden if required.
