Re: Open-Source FIRST
Gtk/kde bindings are unnecessary -- only command line tools are needed.

However, it should be noted that there are several utilities available for unix already (PICloader, although its source might not be available) and in combination with WINE, it is possible to develop solely on unix. While it would be kinda cool to not bother with wine, there probably isn't any point. After all, considerable changes would be necessary if FIRST changed the processor or compiler.

However, FIRST should support the maintenance of the unix tools.
