Could it be possible in the future to run PSPAD on a Mac? Maybe via WineHQ or via X11 (Unix)... it would be very awsome!

Using Wine (DarWine) it works to get the program installed and running on the (intel) MacBook... but some (mmm... a lot) errors do occur.

shame shame... no editor as good as PSPad for the Mac (or any Unix for that matter). No porting to X or so possible too? Maybe for the new version?
From now on: appdb.winehq.org exists...

If Borland writes Delphi compiler for MAC, I will compile it.

And clear Linux/Qt or GTK port? Delphi for linux exists, afaik, but with name Kylix.
You can use CrossKylix crosskylix.untergrund.net to compile your app under windows into linux native code, or download kylix via www.borland.com . Well, I should say that LINUX port would be great, just because running PSpad on Wine is kind of stupid, but other editors lack transparent ftp support... Btv, if the project would be open source, the linux/macos/freebsd port wouldbe only a matter of time.

Exists Kylix - it isn't Delphi and isn't suppoted already. Application have to be developed from the start to be multiplatform.
It means rewrite whole PSPad, use different components, it means know other platforms (Linux, Mac, ...) as programmer.

Well, you have only to publish the source to do this... Wel,, I have some 5 year experience in GTK programming, but not to port apps from Delphi... Porting this app would take approx half a year if i do this.
Have you tried compiling it with Kylix?
