Hi,
 
so why not release the PVAS source under GPL so some other people can do the linux port?

	Well - that was "Posted on: 4:25 pm on June 25, 2002"
	
	And today I say:  "currently I have no plans" - i.e. never say never, but
	the more time passes the more unlikely the port gets :-(
	
	
	But this is completely OT wrt vdr - we can continue this via PM if you like.

	Yeah - I tried ds.jar and it seemed too slow for me too - I already
	suspected that in the thread you quoted.
	
	The main problem all the time for me seems to be the lack of time. I'd
	gladly port PVAS to Linux, but the last few months I did not even have
	enough time for the original PVAS. And now I have a new project in mind
	(again some SW I need and cannot find...) which pushes PVAS for Linux down
	the priority queue (again).
	
	And - before you ask: About more than a year ago I gave the code to someone
	who offered to port it to Linux. After this person put quite some effort in
	it, it was decided that PVAS was too much relying on Windoze-intrinsics. So
	we canned the porting.
	
	We now return to your regular scheduled program... ...really.
	
	regards
