Just to clarify this a little - the APIserver is written in 'C' and will
run on all filePro platforms. Currently there is a Web Service between
the APIserver and the Mobile client and that Web Service is written in
C# and is running on IIS.  I don't know if it can be made to work with
Apache/Tomcat/Mono on Linux.  An Apache/Tomcat/Java web service will be
developed once the Windows Mobile version is released. The Mobile client
is currently Windows Mobile only but a Java version of the Mobile client
will also be developed once the Windows Mobile version is released. A
direct connection between the Mobile client and the APIserver may be
developed in the future if demand warrants.
