Thanks for your efforts! My negative comments relate to other
attempts to port other Windows applications to Linux (and vice
versa!), done by other people -- I have never seen person or team
accomplish that kind of task adequately for my needs, including multi-
million-dollar corporate attempts.

I really do wish the best for this project.

I just installed XCSoar 5 minutes ago on my Desire Z to check it out.
You mean you installed XCSoar 6? *There's no 5 for Android.

5 minutes before writing that, I had only just then installed XCSoar
for Android.

Cheers,
