Hi Peter,

Quartam PDF Library can be tested on Linux without a
problem - it is compatible with both Revolution 2.6.1
and Revolution 2.9 beta. (And all versions in between
on supported platforms)

Quartam Reports is a different animal, as it falls
into two parts: the report printing library which is
pure Revolution, no externals; and the Layout Builder,
which was only compiled for Windows and MacOSX.

Which means that you should be able to test the report
samples, once you can install the package somewhere
and extract the files:
- the stack 'qrtReportsLib.rev'
- the stack 'Report samples.rev'
- the directory 'Sample layouts'

For version 1.1, there will be a Linux build of the
layout builder in Quartam Reports. While I know a
number of QR users do deploy on Linux, you're the
first to ask to have the layout builder available on
Linux as well.

Best regards,

Jan Schenkel.
