Schluntz" Subject: Question on Porting Windows software to X Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am sending this to Hackers, 'cuz I figgured that you all would know the answer to this one. Looking at a larger word processing application for windows (16bit not 32) like Word 6, WordPerfict 6 or WordStar. What do would you all think the difficulty level and approximate time would be required to port this app to X if you had the full sources for the orriginal application. Following up, would there be any one out there with the interest to possibly make some royalties by working on such a project? Thanks for your time. -Sean --- Sean J.
