John,

FWTools downloads run about 3:1 in favor of windows. 
So most FWTools users are on windows. 

The tricky part about using the gltp urls in OpenEV is 
that you can't enter non-filenames in the GUI.  You need
to launch from the commandline with the gltp url. 

eg. 
1) open fwtools shell
2) type "openev gltp:\vrf\E:\vmap0\v0eur\vmaplv0\eurnasia"

Good luck,
