Is LogViewPlus heavily tied to Windows? How hard would a port to Linux be? I love that so many Windows tools get a nice-looking GUI, versus a heavy CUI lean to *nix tools.

As things currently stand - hard. LogViewPlus is written in .Net using WinForms, so it is heavily tied to Windows. However, Microsoft is evolving. The bulk of the code can now be made to be cross-platform easily, but the front-end remains a problem. I would love to do a Linux port as soon as there is a viable cross-platform GUI technology with strong 3rd party vendor support. The controls in LogViewPlus are very rich.
