Not sure all languages are portable on executable level. My preferred would be ANSI-standard C, portable on source-level to any machine with gcc. If there's some gcc-compatible tools to make actual executables, say, that transfer between linux and windows, I've not researched them- any (free) ideas? With executable transfer I've even had problems between gcc compiles on two windows machines due to cygwin library version issues--- I always just compile from source on each machine. -Goethe
