Hi Jonathan ! I'll write Jordan Hubbard a Cc: of this thread, so he can decide, whether it's worth for the FreeBSD project, - to stress test the Linux Emulator - to give you a machine for porting a nice X11 game to FreeBSD - to tell you someone near you, who could give you a machine or an external Harddisk with FreeBSD on it for porting purposes ... I personally would find it great, that grafic animated games are not only offered for the Linux market ... Since many folks are attracted by such things ... ;-) Perhaps you can reply to this mail into the FreeBSD-hackers mailinglist by giving the URL where the screen snapshots of the game reside, I have forgotten the URL (@$&%!) and what the game is about.

If you think we make big bucks off UNIX ports, think again... $$ apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd @home : andreas@knobel.gun.de $$ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu @work : andreas@sunny.wup.de $$ /pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz knobel: >>> powered by FreeBSD <<<
