The port was apparently at least partly done by Ryan Gordon of Icculus and formerly LOKI Enter- tainment Software fame: http://www.icculus.org http://www.lokigames.com// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loki_Games The GTK+ installer in question appears to be the good old LOKI Games installer, used even by some newer Linux game ports. In some ways, you could say the LOKI installer is the closest the Linux platform ever got to InstallShield ;-). As for Google Earth, the application is based on technology Google acquired along with Key- hole Inc. a couple of years back. If I remem- ber correctly, Enterprise-grade versions of the Keyhole software, such as Keyhole Fusion, were always available for Linux. -- Regards, Eike Hein, sho@eikehein.com _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
