Perl and Tk are supposed to be available on all major platforms (at least in 
separate packages).  Perhaps it can be kept as is with only minor work to make 
it cross-platform.  Another possibility might be to keep the guts in Perl and 
add a Java or CGI/Web interface to extend the ui coverage.

Of course I would really like to see PilotManager ported to Basic, so I can sync 
with my TRS 80 Model 100.  It would have to fit in 24k of ram for both storing 
it and running it ;-).
