spinal	Does anyone know of a good(ish) free language that can compile for the main OS's? I am writing a little program and I just know most people will complain if there isn't a Linux and OSX version. It doesn't need to be super fancy, but should be able to do the following - read/write files find file size check if file exists save jpg images Any advice? -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

Jayenkai	GUI? If not, do it in the most bog standard C you can find, and hope for the best! Keep it open source, too, if you can, to save having people whinge that it won't work on their particular setup. I've Win/Ubuntu/Mac here, so if you need testers/compilers, let me know. .... oh, in fact.. Could you do it as a html/javascript/website thing, at all? (preferably without the need for a website!) -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

JL235	You can do all of that in Java, without the need for any extra libraries.

Stealth	Every app I've ever used that was written in Java is kind of bloated and slow. -=-=- Quit posting and try Google.
