Hi, hope everyone is well.

This is more like an "feature request":

Do you thing is possible to move from "Executable" programs to an 
AppImage single file that includes Gambas runtimes and all its needed?

I just ran into this while installing MeshLab from "Ubuntu Software" 
only to find it won't start. After it, downloaded the AppImage from 
MeshLab website, ran it from where it landed , "Downloads" for the case, 
to find it finally works.

I beleive our end users, linux begginers, people not interested in 
programming will love it.

Also, I've done testing in the upcomming WLS2 into the Windows Insider 
Program to find that Gambas3 run flawlessly and very fast, only seen 10% 
loss of speed in benchmarks with my software. As opposite WLS is pretty 
unusable with hungs all the time.

But from a barebone Windows to and Gambas3 app running is a very long 
and tedious way, and will continue to be, wich can be cut in half by 
having the possibility of the AppImage.

Stay safe at home. For us, that's never a problem!
