   Interesting screenshot isn't it :-)


Nice. :)
Can you clarify the specific open source license that you are releasing Niue under? 

Cheers,

Proprietary and closed-source apps are a dead end. In the long run it would be better if you looked into the open source and/or actively developed alternatives. Not only may you find replacements whose source could potentially be included in Haiku (license permitting and if needed/desired), but you would also give much deserved encouragement to those devs doing application development for an emerging platform like Haiku. A few examples: 

* Niue IDE for BeOS/Haiku (http://www.bebits.com/app/4540)
        Developed by Tako Lansbergen (aka "0033")
        Screenshots: http://www.xs4all.nl/~tako0033/Niue/niue2.png
        This is actively developed and open source.

* Various from Jerome Fillon (http://www.softimedia.com)
        SerialTransfert (http://www.bebits.com/app/318)
        BeBuilderEditor (http://www.bebits.com/app/496)
        More from this author: http://www.bebits.com/devprofile/160
I believe SHINTA has also developed a (maybe BeIDE compatible?) IDE for ZETA, which I understand he plans to migrate to Haiku at some point. Not sure where that stands now, but it may be good to contact him and ask (he may be able to crank out a BeOS binary that works in Haiku).
