I think I'll just stick to Windows for now for Kx3 Utility.  Maybe in the 
future there will be a step-by-step install for us Linux dummies.

tnx

George,

First check the app is 32 bit

  * ldd - will probably fail
  * ./exec - probably says No File
  * File info exec show it is i386 file

Add Arch support

   sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Followed by

    sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6Li386

You may need the odd extrac package but you should be on your way (I hope 
with this)

Regards

Tim
