Hi there...

I've been following the development of an app called Ktextmaker2 and wanted 
to propose that it be ported to FreeBSD. The home site is:

	http://xm1.net.free.fr/linux/index.html

I am not a programmer and don't have the skill to do this myself, but I've 
been advised that if I asked nicely, you might at least consider this for 
inclusion in the ports collection.

Thanks.

M.

Just send email to ports@FreeBSD.org and ask nicely.  Depending on how
hard it is to port, your results may vary.
