I saw your reply on the questions of a Linux version of software and 
the effort to create a 3D version.

I am interested in porting femm to run on native Linux (as opposed to 
WINE). I'm also interested in developing a 3D version. Its clear from 
your comments that there's a fair bit of effort required for each of 
these. I was wondering if anyone has either of these projects off the 
ground? If so, I'd like to get involved in them.

I note your point about the compute power required to perform the 3D 
calcs. It so happens that I also have an interest in cluster 
computing and I am doing initial test runs on a modest cluster of my 
own. I'm hoping that it will provide the necessary horse power to do 
the job. If no one else is working in this area, I'd like to have a 
go. If I can get it all going on the cluster, I'll be able to make it 
available to the on-line community later in the year (this is when I 
hope to connect the cluster to the internet via web site front-end.)

So can you point me in the direction of someone working in the area 
or alternatively, is there any support for further development in 
these direction?

Kind Regards, Ian Baker
