Hi Alex - Yes I wanted to try this and everybody said it was easy but 
NOBODY gave me any instructions!! I did "mess about" with it a few times 
but got nowhere - so I never was able to try this out!!

Kexi is a standard SQLlight format so the files should be movable 
between OpSys-es. I also see that Calligra 2.4 has just been released 
that includes the latest Kexi and this is available on Window$ and they 
are asking for Mac OS Devs also!!

But non of this was a major concern of mine. I run my own DB and used it 
EVERY day. I don't have to pass it on to others so as long as it works 
for me (well) in Linux - that's what I need!!! And so far Kexi is 
delivering, (for me anyway!!).

All the best
