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...
