Compass is a "one-man operation" and I have a limited amount of time for writing, maintaining and improving Compass. Trying to do that for more than one operating system would require more time than I have.

I also get similar requests to translate Compass into other languages. Although I am bilingual, maintaining versions of the software and the manual in two languages would double the amount of work I have to do.

  2. It is written in Delphi ...
  3. The program is constantly changing. I typically made 5 to 25 changes a month, ...
  4. I am currently in the process of a major rewrite of Compass which will change everything including file formats. ...
