Nope :(
Vilis Nams produced _lots_ of software (even for the Palm V!) but none of them 
free, or based on something different from Windows...

Anyway, here at my research group, we're facing a similar "Nams-originated" 
problem. since the most used triangulation software (Locate III) is grom the 
same author and suffers the same problem.

I use Fractal, and the algorithms are rather well clear, both in the 
documentation and in the related papers... since Clément _has_ several 
movement ecology tools in adehabitat (the traj class and all 
trajectory-rerlated stuff IMHO are a good base to start with), a further 
AniMov project could be to add fractal movement analysis estimators...

...lots of stuff to do!

a nice week to all the list.
