Must have been somehow thinking Designer in my head thinking it is only available to Amiga and PC, altho...

I am thinking of making one laptop of mine into a Linux machine. But I wonder how could I use it to program with Hollywood. Anyone here have tips to give? Like, is it called Wine? sound like you could use Linux to run windows software, would that include Hollywood? Or could you run something like Am...

I had to log in just a moment ago.

Also, as I mentioned, this problem occurs when I am saving with Hollywood IDE as well. It appears, that by default Hollywood IDE is saving as UTF-8 BOM. Can you change Hollywood IDE by default to use UTF-8 only, or would that affect Hollywood scripts? Point being, that it is bit confusing that you c...
