That is the same as with Linux.

And iOS actually works a lot Given that we worked together on adding features to GnuPG and GPGME for use on Android I can't see your point. Given that Android uses a Unix kernel it is much more Unix than Windows or VMS. You are thinking in the context of an application which runs on that Android Unix kernel. That might be indeed limited. However we are hackers and we can find ways to make almost everything work. Shall we sit down and talk about the Android problems? If we can do that close to my place I will be available most of the time. If it is better for you to do it somewhere else, like Berlin, we need a bit more planning. Travel expenses should not be a concern. Shalom-Salam, Werner -- Die Gedanken sind frei.
