Anyway, thnx for the help ^^

SJGames should have done it as multi-plataform system, its not all that hard :P
Technically speaking SJ Games didn't write it. From what I understand Armin was writing it as a fan utility for years and was approached by SJ Games who blessed it as the official version rather than rewrite their in-house character creation program for GURPS 4th Ed.

There is probably a total rewrite of GCA in the stars in the next couple years (Windows 8 drops support for VB6 runtimes) and Armin has states he's seeking out a cross-platform development platform, probably centered around the Visual Basic syntax. (My vote's been on VB.NET with a focus on a .NET subset compatible with Mono.)
