epoline-OLF Software is a Delphi Project tied to Microsoft Windows Platforms.

In my INTERNAL LINKearlier posting I had reported about the EXTERNAL LINKopen source approach taken by the EXTERNAL LINKEPO with regard to their EXTERNAL LINKepoline OLF software. Yesterday I talked to a software engineer who had inspected the source code more in detail. In fact, the software is written in a special flavour of EXTERNAL LINKPascal, namely EXTERNAL LINKDelphi brought to market by EXTERNAL LINKBorland. Interestingly, there is also a Linux-compatible variant of Delphi available called EXTERNAL LINKKylix. But the option to port the epoline software to Linux is effectively blocked by an immense number of calls to Microsoft-specific APIs in the epoline OLF code.

The EXTERNAL LINKPatTrAS software issued by the EXTERNAL LINKGerman Patent and Trade Mark Office (DPMA) has been coded in a much more compatible and platform-independent way. It is written in Java and seems to run quite well on a Linux computer having a Java Runtime Environment installed.
