Rex,

Everything necessary to port BlackBox to Linux is included in the current release of BlackBox:

    http://www.oberon.ch/zip/SetupBlackBox16-rc6.exe

All that is really needed to get started is the know how on how to actually tackle such a system-level project and a lot of hard work. About ten years ago we did a very rough proof of concept but eventually we had to stop that effort due to a lack of resources.

Thanks and kind regards,
Marc
