Thanks for that John,
Keeping that in mind, are there any other packages or projects that we
should see on that page to show people that although an exact match of what
they use on Windows might not be available, there is a very close match to the
software they use which might even be more suitable to their needs.

Either add a note at the bottom please or email me with a small paragraph.

Ken.
