Linux Version

The funny thing that it already works on Linux. You can try to start the game in that way (you need to be in game root directory, where Commander.exe is located): $ java -Xms500m -Xmx900m -Xss10m CEAW 9100 Moreover, probably it works on any platform that supports Java.

What's the point of that???) I am concerned that I am going to encounter similar problems. Has support for this product imp...
