One request to the OP any chance you could add a 20130505 or a version
number to the tar.gz file? That way if you ever release a new version
the port won't break with bad checksum errors. Thanks.

Yes, there will be more versions for a little while. Maybe posting
this was premature, but I thought the next release was a long while
away so it was OK.
I discovered today this doesn't handle spaces in filenames (I never
use them), so I fixed that. Also it appends the date and time where
the last period in a filename is, so file.tar.gz ends up
file.tar_2013-05-06_1234.gz which looks a little funny. I haven't
decided how to deal with that. Multiple periods cause a problem since
I used strrchr('.') to place the split.
If there are suggestions I might make more changes, so the checksum
won't be stable for a little while. I don't anticipate changing it
very often after initial beta testing, if ever.
Thank you for making a port, I was looking up how to do that, but I've
been working on something else all day. This probably needs week or
so settling time: I've never published anything this way before. How
do I reconnect to the project?
There is now a http://ab1jx.webs.com/calcs/backdir/backdir_20135056.tar.gz
Thanks again,

I've tweaked the port locally but will wait until things settle, then
I'll work on getting it imported.
If your interested in porting your other stuff or any other software the
Porter's Handbook [0] is a great place to start.
