We could probably port it. Unfortunately it's a commercial product. They support a couple of flavors of unix, but I think linux was the only one that we have any sort of compatability with. I suspect the real problem is our linux compatability missing some stuff, I do remember seeing a message about an unsupported ioctl in messages. Anybody that wants to look at it, it's at www.knox-software.com. Hmm, the listed platforms for pc unix are linux and sco (3.2, Openserver 5, Unixware V 2.x). I seem to recall we have some sco compatability, but I don't remember to what extent. Of course, the plus with their shareware version (which is only available in the linux flavor) is that it does everything I need without having to lay out a whole ton of money.
