So take the hint. :) Before I ported my first app I didn't know how to do
it either. Chances are, if it's a relatively simple app that uses standard
conventions it will be a simple port. You will get infinitely more help
from the ports list with a question like, "I'm trying to port the latest
version of <foo> and I'm having problems trying to get it to build because
of <bar>" than just a request for someone else to do it for you.
Good luck,
Doug
