I think that HMT3 is a great Program, I really haven't gotten much of a chance to mess with it because I don't run windows, but from what I have seen it is pretty cool. There wouldn't be a port in progress or source code avalible would there? If there isn't a port in progress, I would love to take a shot at porting it over to Linux.

Doubt a port'll never be made, as it requires the .NET framework, sorry dude..

Seeing that there are = calls to the .NET framework in linux, I see it as possible.

IIRC, there have been linux .NET framework projects. I'm not sure if any of them have been completed in their entirety, as I haven't check up recently. You wouldn't really need the .NET framework anyway, you could just port the algorithims used from VB to C/C++ and then use GTK or QT(BLEH!) to create the GUI if you so chose (which would probably be a damn good idea considering how much HMT can do, command line arguments just wouldn't cut it.
Only thing is the source hasn't been released...

Okay, it's possible, but pretty dang hard to do!!!
