The MetaTalk Programmer package is built specifically and separately
for Mac and Windows so that people who want to use it don't have to
download and install the much larger Starter Kit.  Producing an
equivalent package for any UNIX system (including Linux) would be a
trivial matter, but it hasn't been done because we haven't run into
any K12 schools using Linux (guess that means we're part of the
problem rather than part of the solution!)  I'll make sure it gets put
up as a separate stack (which will require downloading and installing
the Starter Kit first) on ftp.metacard.com sometime today.  The
address will be:
ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/mtp.mc.gz
