Hey! I'm really excited to try this!

Question: given that your downloads are marked as supporting Linux and MacOS, are you planning on supporting non-windows platforms at release? It didn't immediately work for me when running under wine in Ubuntu. (`wine ob32x_free.exe examples/hello.bas` hangs forever). 

Safety Stoat develops on *nix Operating systems, so if you do support those I'd be interested in purchasing the non-free version in the future.

Hey, thank you! Yes, Linux and macOS are intended to be supported at release.

The .exe name is a little misleading here: ORBIS BASIC 32X is built as a Cosmopolitan / actually portable executable, so it should run directly on Linux without Wine. Wine is not needed and may actually cause problems.

I am developing and testing the executable on Linux Mint myself.

On Linux, please try:

chmod +x ob32x_free.exe 
./ob32x_free.exe examples/hello.bas 

The .exe extension is kept so the same file can also be used on Windows.

If it still gives you trouble when run directly, please let me know your distro and system details. I definitely want the tool to work well for *nix users too.

Great, happy to hear it worked! Thank you for testing it on Linux.
