Yes, I believe we are "crippling ourselves" by using a host Windows PC ..to the
point we may want to consider switching to a Linux host PC.
I have just discovered that the Eclipse available from is quite nicely

the executable to the appropriate folder on the TS7500. Do you know if this
will run on a Linux PC without launching a configuration career?
Thanks,
RF
