Just found that the command line version of EDB server runs on Linux with WINE.  At first, I was a bit skeptical because I haven't had any successful experience doing so with other Windows
based DB server and the WINE version I have on hand is quite outdated (2005 version).   To my surprise, it runs flawlessly so far.  I've even copied my large database created in Windows
to Linux and it works well too.  Of course, it probably needs more testing before this can be used in a production environment.

Just discovered one minor problem.  It doesn't accept QUIT command to quit the server but this is not a big issue as it is not difficult to modify it to use other means to tell the server to quit.

Is this just under Windows or only under Wine ?

It works perfectly under Windows.  The problem occurs only under Wine.  For some reason, it can't even show the complete message (see attached screen dump).  It is more likely a
problem of Wine rather than EDB.  By the way, I also tried the ordinary non-commandline version.  It works too but Wine handles tray icons a bit strangely.   Is there a way to tell the server
to start in normal window mode rather than as tray icon?

Found it.  I've modified the server program and runs successfully on Wine.  It seems that there's still some problem with non-blocking mode listen/recv.  Anyway, this is more academic than
practical.  For Linux, I'd rather wait for the CLX version than using Wine.

You can use the interactive server without the system tray functionality,
but you'll have to modify the edbsrvr.dpr project in order to do so.
