A port of abook already exists and someone has done a good job of keeping it patched and up to date (the latter to a point) and I'm only asking if there's a chance of it being brought up to date. Sure, I could update the port to a newer version but if there's a bug in the actual *software*, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do much as I don't know C - maintaining a port for a software written in language one does not understand is probably not the best of ideas. > When the book gets updated, update your port. > Submitting a port for a book is a good place to start porting, there are > no libraries or patches or anything else very difficult. The aforementioned person is clearly not you, so please give me the courtesy of at least following the link before you preach. Raf
