You did indeed subscribe, and I'm sorry that no-one has responded-- it's fairly common for people to submit programs and suggest that they are ported. Unfortunately that depends on someone who: a) requires your application AND b) knows how to port it AND c) has the time to do so I'm sure it'd make a great project for anyone wanting to contribute to the Ports Tree if they think it'd be useful...

I need to ponder about it and figure some way to do this. Basically, it now works great in FreeBSD: Well, gsimplecal is BSD licensed, so I guess it plays nice with *BSD systems. :-) What would we like ?: # I would like gsimplecal to be officially ported over to the FreeBSD ports system. Feel free to make any changes you need, to make it install easier in FreeBSD, if you like. Also, if you need any other help or details please let me know. -- Thanks.
